Description of key information

The test item 2-((4-amino-2-nitrophenyl)amino)ethanol is considered to be inert in terms of oxidizing properties, according to the criteria as described the EU Method A.17.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Oxidising properties:
non oxidising

Additional information

The purpose of the study was  to determine the oxidizing properties of the test item 2-((4-amino-2-nitrophenyl)amino)ethanol following the OECD guideline A.17 Oxidizing Properties (solids) and the GLP.

A preliminary test has been performed with the mixture dried test item / cellulose (2/1), formed into a small cone-shaped pile and ignited. he mixture burned evenly. As the result was open to doubt a full test was performed.

The main test was then conducted following the guideline. The test item-cellulose mixtures from 10% to 90% were tested to define the mixture with the fastest burning rate. Then the test was repeated 6 times with the 60% Test Item mixture and compared with the mixtures of barium nitrate-cellulose.

The maximum burning 0.98 mm/sec was obtained twice with the 60% Test item-cellulose mixture. This is higher than the maximum burning rate of 0.58 mm/sec for the mixture barium nitrate/cellulose (50/50).      

Finally, to ensure that no false positive results were observed the test was repeated using kieselguhr as inert substance in place of cellulose. The test was performed for mixture 60 % test item / 40 % kieselguhr. In all six tests the test item did burn evenly. The highest burning rate of 1.59 mm/sec was found.

The test item 2-((4-amino-2-nitrophenyl)amino)ethanol may be considered not to possess oxidizing properties.
