Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

In accordance with section 2 of Annex XI of the REACH Regulation, it is not technically possible to conduct the flammability (solids) test required under section 7.10 of Annex VII. The substance is a liquid and hence testing is not technically feasible. The flash point is the more appropriate measure of flammability for this type of material.

In accordance with Section 1 of Annex XI, it is considered justified to omit the testing for pyrophoric properties. Testing does not appear scientifically necessary, as based upon the chemical structure pyrophoric properties are not to be expected; furthermore, experience in use and experience of handling the substance indicates that it does not possess pyrophoric properties.

In accordance with Section 1 of Annex XI, it is considered justified to omit the testing for substances or mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases. Testing does not appear scientifically necessary as, based upon the chemical structure, water activity is not to be expected; this has been corroborated by the practical handling and use of the chemical over time.
