Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
2-chloroacetamide
EC Number:
201-174-2
EC Name:
2-chloroacetamide
Cas Number:
79-07-2
Molecular formula:
C2H4ClNO
IUPAC Name:
2-chloroacetamide
Details on test material:
Chloroacetamide, production lots approved by quality control

Results and discussion

Results:
Simulating a real fire, combustion at 950°C under good air supply gave only very low HCN or NOx ratios < 1 mgN/g chloroacetamide.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under free fire conditions, chloroacetamide was completely combusted. In the combustion gases, 101 % of the organic carbon was recovered as CO2, exclusively. Under smouldering fire conditions, 61 % of the organic carbon was recovered, mostly as CO (38%), as CO2 (10%), or as CN- (13%) , respectively.
