no pyrophoricity

no flammability in contact with water

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Based on flash point and boiling point the substance is a highly flammable liquid. Based on the chemical structure and experience in handling and use, pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are not expected.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on flash point (12 °C) and boiling point (>60 °C), the substance is considered to be highly flammable liquid and vapour. According to CLP classification criteria, the substance needs to be classified as Flam liquid Cat.2.
