Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The flammability of liquids is determined on basis of their flash point (in combination with their boiling point, the ability to emit flammable gases upon contact with water and their pyrophoricity. The substance has a high flashpoint (134°C) and a boiling point of 290°4C not indicating flammability. With regards to flammability in contact with water, the structural features of the substance were evaluated and it was concluded that the substance does not contain groups that might lead to the evolution of a dangerous amount of flammable gas when coming into contact with water or damp air (ECHA guidance R.7.1.10.3). No metals, transition metals, boron or silicon are present. Also, handling during the water solubility test confirms this conclusion.

With regards to pyrophoric properties, evaluation of the structural features of the substance revealed that the substance does not contain any chemical group that might lead to spontaneous ignition a short time after coming into contact with air (ECHA guidance R.7.1.10.3).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
non flammable

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance as such being a liquid, is not considered flammable because its flash point is > 60°C. In addition, the substance is not considered flammable in contact with water and gas based on the results above. Therefore classification according to the EU CLP (EC 1272/2008 and its amendments).
