Reaction product of soluble nickel salt, cobalt salt, manganese salt with alkalines

Flammability

Description of key information

Testing for pyrophoric properties of solids is not considered to be required, since this substance is stable at ambient temperature. This substance also does not contain any chemical groups that might lead to spontaneous ignition a short time after coming in contact with air at room temperature (circa 20°C) . Long-time industrial experience in manufacture and handling shows that this UVCB substance does not ignite spontaneously on coming into contact with air at normal temperatures.
Testing of flammability in contact with water is not considered to be required, because the substance does not contain components or groups that might lead to a reaction with water or damp air, further leading to the development of dangerous amounts of gas or gases which may be highly flammable. Furthermore, experience in practical handling of the substance shows that it does not react with water, and recent experimental testing for water solubility has not reported formation of any gases.
Flammability in contact with a flame was tested by using method "Flammability testing for class 4.1, i.e. test N.1 according to the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria". The results show that the substance is not able to propagate a combustion, and is therefore considered non flammable.
