Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Values for LEL: 1.8% at 38 deg C
Values for UEL: 7.8, 8%
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- highly flammable
Additional information
A number of handbook sources report the following flammable limits for isopropyl acetate: LEL (Lower explosion limit): 1.8% by volume (18,000 ppm) at 38 deg C, UEL (Upper explosion limit): 7.8 to 8.0% by volume (80,000 ppm). No individual source is considered reliable alone but together they constitute a weight of evidence to suggest that the parameter is reliable.
Justification for classification or non-classification
This information on flammability limits plus the data on flash point indicate that isopropyl acetate needs to be classified as highly flammable.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
