Description of key information
Data Waiver
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
Petrolatums do not meet EU criteria for explosiveness, as they do not have chemical groups associated with explosive properties. Petrolatums are not explosive per se, and, due to their extremely low vapour pressures, do not form explosive mixtures in air. Petrolatums are therefore not classified as explosive.
The substance is manufactured using oxidised petrolatum, therefore no further oxidiation being a premise for explosiveness is anticipated.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Petrolatums do not meet EU CLP (EC No. 1272/2008) criteria for explosiveness. Petrolatums are not explosive per se, and, due to their extremely low vapour pressures, do not form explosive mixtures in air. Petrolatums are therefore not classified as explosive.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
