Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
flammable liquids: obsolete as covered by section 'Flash point'
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a liquid
Justification for type of information:
JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
As the substance is only manufactured in situ in a generic inert carrier, typically base oil, and the base oil retards the surface oxidation of the isolated substance, the hazard testing was conducted on the substance in situ in a carrier. All endpoints, where possible, were determined using a 50% w.w. concentration in pharmaceutical white oil. As the substance as a 50% w.w. concentration in pharmaceutical white oil is a liquid, its flammability is determined on the basis of its flash point and boiling point. Experience in manufacture and handling shows that the substance in a grease base does not ignite spontaneously on coming into contact with air or water at normal temperatures and therefore does not meet the criteria for classification as a pyrophoric substance or a substance which in contact with water emits flammable gases.
