Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
The estimated flammability limits are 0.6V% for the LEL and 7.0 V% for the UEL.
Executive summary:

The estimated flammability limits are 0.6V% for the LEL and 7.0 V% for the UEL.

Description of key information

Hydrocarbons, C9-C10, aromatics, >1% Naphthalene are a combination of Hydrocarbons, C9 Aromatics and Hydrocarbons, C10-C12 Aromatics. Read across data is available for Hydrocarbons, C9 Aromatics and Hydrocarbons, C10-C12 Aromatics and the worst case scenario for each end point has been presented.

The upper and lower flammability ranges for the Hydrocarbons, C9, aromatics are 0.7 - 7.0% v/v.

The calculated flammability range of Hydrocarbons, C10, aromatics, >1% naphthalene is 0.6 to 7.0% v/v.

 

This data is used for read across to Hydrocarbons, C9-C10, aromatics, >1% Naphthalene.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
flammable

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

The flash point of the Hydrocarbons, C9, aromatics is >35°C at 1 atm. The flash point, PMcc, of Hydrocarbons, C10, aromatics, >1% naphthalene, is >62°C.

Based on the flash point of Hydrocarbons, C9, aromatics (>35C), Hydrocarbons, C9-C10, aromatics, >1% Naphthalene is classified as Flammable Category 3 (H226: Flammable liquid and vapour) under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging (CLP) of substances and mixtures.
