Description of key information

- not highly flammable upon ignition. 
- no pyrophoric properties
- does not liberate flammable gases on contact with water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The flammability was determined by screening test "burning behaviour" according to Guideline VDI 2263, 1990.

- Upon ignition the test substance was brief burning followed by rapid extinction (FBI=2)

- Based on chemical structure and experience in handling and use of substance the pyrophoric properties and the flammability in contact with water are not to be expected.

Justification for classification or non-classification

- Upon ignition the test substance was brief burning followed by rapid extinction (FBI=2)

- Based on chemical structure and experience in handling and use of substance the pyrophoric properties and the flammability in contact with water are not to be expected.

The flammability was determined by screening test "burning behaviour" according to Guideline VDI 2263, 1990.

The theoretical assessments of pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are based on section R.7.1.10 of Guidance chapter R.7a of REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.

It can be concluded that the substance should not be classified as a flammable material.
