Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Flash Point = 160°C
No ignition in contact with a flame.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
As the substance is a solid at ambient temperature, the relevant test for flammable properties is the flammability under ignition. A fully reliable experimental study is presented under point 4.13.
However, as having a low melting point, i.e. transition into liquid occurs below classification threshold, flash point testing was also considered relevant for the classification regarding flammable properties. A fully reliable experimental study is presented under point 4.11.
Based on the chemical structure and experience, no flammable properties are anticipated if contact with air or water, therefore studies were deemed unnecessary.
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to Regulation (EC) No.1272/2008 criteria, the substance failed to ignite in the preliminary test, therefore it is NOT classified as a flammable solid. Moreover, flash point is above the threshold value of 60°C, therefore it is NOT classified as a flammable liquid either.
According to Directive 67/548/EEC criteria, the substance failed to ignite in the preliminary test, therefore it is NOT classified as highly flammable (solid). Moreover, flash point is above the threshold value of 55°C, therefore it is NOT classified as flammable (liquid) either.
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.
