Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Justification for type of information:
REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
This read-across is based on the hypothesis that source and target substances have similar toxicological properties because
• they are manufactured from similar or identical precursors under similar conditions
• they share structural similarities with common functional groups: tertiary amines, amides, fatty acid chains with comparable length, and short chain carboxylic acids (acetic / propenoic) of comparable length

Therefore, read-across from the existing studies on the source substances is considered as an appropriate adaptation to the standard information requirements of the REACH Regulation for the target substance, in accordance with the provisions of Annex XI, 1.5 of the REACH Regulation.

2. SOURCE AND TARGET CHEMICAL(S) (INCLUDING INFORMATION ON PURITY AND IMPURITIES)
See general justification for read-across attached to IUCLID chapter 13.

Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across: supporting information
Type of method:
closed cup
Remarks on result:
no flash point - measurement carried out until boiling temperature
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The Pensky-Martens closed cup method was applied for the determination of the flash-point of the substance (aqueous solution). It was visually observed that the aqueous solution has a boiling temperature of approximately 105°C. No flammable vapour/air mixture was produced at temperatures below this boiling temperature. From this, it was concluded that the substance has no flash point.

No flash-point was observed up to the boiling temperature of the test substance.

Description of key information

testing not required

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The substance does only contain components with very low vapour pressures and it is manufactured and used only in water-based solutions. Supporting data obtained with a closely related substance suggest that the substance has no flash point below the boiling temperature of the test substance.
