Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 upon ignition.
The substance has no pyrophoric properties and does not liberate flammable gases in contact with water.
The substance is not a self-reactive substance or mixture.
The substance is a self-heating substance or mixture.
The substance is not an organic peroxide.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- highly flammable
Additional information
In an UN N.1 Test the burning time was 16 to 21 s.
Based on chemical structure pyrophoric properties and flammability in contact with water are not to be expected.
In an UN N.5 Test the substance releases gas (alcohol) / water damp mixture but without spontaneous self-ignition.
The substance or mixture does not need to be classified as self-reactive as there are no chemical groups present in the molecule associated with explosive or self reactive properties.
In an UN N.4 Test the substance ignites in a 2.5 cm wired cube at 140 °C. This is supported to the GESTIS database where the test substance is also regarded as self heating.
The substance or mixture does not need to be classified as an organic peroxide as by definition based on their chemical structure the substance is no organic peroxide.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Dangerous Substance Directive (67/548/EEC)
Based on the study results, the molecular structure, the experience in handling and use and taking into account the provisions laid down in Directive 67/548/EEC, as amended for the 31st time in Directive 2009/2/EG, the substance needs to be classified as highly flammable solid F, R11. The test substance does not need to be classified as flammable in contact with water or as pyrophoric.
Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
Based on the study results, the molecular structure, the experience in handling and use and taking into account the provisions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for the sixth time in Regulation (EC) No 605/2014, the substance has to be classified as flammable solid cat. 1, H228 and self heating cat. 1, H251. The test substance does not need to be classified as flammable in contact with water, pyrophoric, self-reactive substance or organic peroxide.
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.
