Description of key information

The substance is considered not highly flammable (EC-A.10), does not liberate flammable gases in hazardous amounts (EC-A.12), does not deliver indications of pyrophoric properties during the realization of other tests (EC-A.13), and is not expected to be self-heating as the melting point is < 160 ºC.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data on flammability of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification:

No propagation of burning in a test according to EU Method A.10. The substance does not liberate flammable gases in hazardous amounts (EC-A.12), does not deliver indications of pyrophoric properties during the realization of other tests (EC-A.13). Based on the chemical structure and experience in handling and use, pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are not expected. The substance is a completely molten at 160 °C. A liquid shows no self-heating behavior if it is not absorbed on a large surface.
