Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

None of the substances in the calcium salts of monocarboxylic acids C14-C22 category are considered to be highly flammable. Experience in manufacture and handling shows that the substances do not ignite spontaneously on coming into contact with air at normal temperatures and are stable at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days). Experience has also shown that the substances do not react with water. Therefore none of the substances in the category meet the criteria for classification as flammable solids, pyrophoric substances or substance which in contact with water emit flammable gases.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The experimental data on calcium myristate, calcium 12 -hydroxystearate and calcium behenate are taken from proprietary study reports (Harlan 2013).
