Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
Relative self-ignition temperature:
> 490 °C
Remarks on result:
other: value obtained from read across with 1-bromopropane

Any other information on results incl. tables

Read across of flammability properties of halogen propanes
substance name CAS No. boiling point/°C Flash point / °C Autoignition temp /°C lower explosion limit/g/m³
1-chloropropane 540-54-5 47 -18 520 70
2-chloropropane 75-29-6 35 -32 590 90
1-bromopropane 106-94-5 71 -10 490 170
2-bromopropane 75-26-3 59 -20   165

From the table it can be seen that boiling point and flash point of bromopropanes behave like the corresponding chloropropanes. A similar relationship can be expected from the autoignition temperatures. Due to the uncertainty of the autoignition process an exact figure cannot be given, however, a value of more than 490°C can be approximated as best guess for this endpoint.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
An autoignition temperature for 2-bromopropane of >490°C has been determined from read across with 1-bromopropane, for which reliable experimental results are reported.
The endpoint is not critical for the classification of explosion proof installations. According to ATEX explosion hazard class IIA can be assumed for the substance.
