Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
flammable liquid
no pyrophoricity
no flammability in contact with water
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- flammable
Additional information
Based on the measured flash point of 42.5°C and the boiling point of 169°C, the substance is flammable. There is no indication on the basis of structure and experience in handling and use that the substance is flammable in contact with air or water.
A lower explosion limit of 0.53% (measured at 90°C) and a higher explosion limit of 15% (measured at 165°C) were determined according to an appropriate national standard method (DIN 51649). These values are supported by lower explosion limits of 0.3% and 0.7%, and a higher explosion limit of 17% determined from other studies. The supporting results are in good agreement with the key study.
A temperature of 55°C for sustained combustibility was determined according to an appropriate test protocol (ISO 9038).
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on the flash point and the boiling point of the test substance meet the criteria for classification as a flammable liquid according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.
The available data on pyrophoricity and flammability in contact with water of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification: Based on the chemical structure and experience in handling and use pyrophoricity and flammability in contact with water are not expected.
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.
