According to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, Section 2.13.1, an oxidising liquid is defined as ‘a liquid substance or mixture which, while itself is not necessarily combustible, may, generally by yielding oxygen, cause, or contribute to, the combustion of other material.’

A screening procedure has been used to assess the oxidising properties of2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, tetracosyl ester (branched). This has taken into consideration the following:

1. Annex VII of the REACH regulation ((EC) No 1907/2006), section 7.13, which states that a study of the oxidising behaviour of a substance need not be conducted if the substance ‘is incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials, for example on the basis of chemical structure (e.g. organic substances not containing oxygen or halogen atoms and these elements are not chemically bonded to nitrogen or oxygen.’)

2. Section 2.13.4.1 of the CLP regulation covering oxidising liquids states that for organic substances, the classification procedure shall not apply if:

a) The substance does not contain oxygen, fluorine or chlorine; or

b) The substance contains oxygen, fluorine or chlorine and these elements are chemically bonded to carbon or hydrogen.

 

2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, tetracosyl ester (branched) is an organic substance containing two oxygen atoms. However, neither of the oxygen atoms are bound to nitrogen or another oxygen atom. The two oxygen atoms belong to an ester group and hence are bound to carbon; therefore, they need not be considered as conferring oxidising properties. The other minor constituents listed in Table 1 are structurally related to the title compound and hence do not contain chemical functionality associated with potential oxidising properties. No constituent listed in Table 1 contains fluorine or chlorine atoms.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, tetracosyl ester(branched) does not have oxidising potential and does not require classification as an oxidising agent.

Executive summary:

An assessment was carried out based on an examination of the functionality within the substance. The constituents of 2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, tetracosyl ester(branched) are not considered to have chemical functionality associated with oxidising properties. Therefore it is concluded that 2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, tetracosyl ester(branched) does not have oxidising potential and does not require classification as an oxidising agent.
