EC number: 407-770-0 | CAS number: 61597-96-4 D(+)-LACTATE D'ISOBUTYLE
Flammability
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
For liquids the primary value for ease of ignition is the flash point. It is therefore not required to conduct a flammability study since isobutyl-(R)-lactate is a liquid and structural groups that imply potential reactivity with water or pyrophoric properties are lacking.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI this study is scientifically unjustified. The flammability of liquids is determined on the basis of their flash point (in combination with their boiling point), their ability to emit flammable gases upon contact with water and their pyrophoricity. A review of the molecular structure of isobutyl-(R)-lactate suggests that it does not contain groups that imply potential reactivity with water or pyrophoric properties. In addition, experience in handling and use does not indicate pyrophoric properties or flammability on contact with water.
Justification for classification or non-classification
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.
