Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

Flammable solids
Key result
Test procedure:
burning rate test: preliminary screening test
Remarks on result:
substance does not ignite and propagate combustion either by burning with flame or smouldering along 200 mm of the powder train within the 2 minutes test period
Remarks:
substance does not ignite and propagate combustion either by burning with flame or smouldering along 200 mm of the powder train within the 2 minutes test period After 35s sample starts to melt and decomposes (sample temperature 250ºC). After 90s sample is completely degraded and turns into a black material (sample temperature 385ºC). As substance does not ignite and propagate combustion along 200 mm of the powder train within the four minutes test period, then the substance is not considered highly flammable and no further testing is required.

Any other information on results incl. tables

substance does not ignite and propagate combustion either by burning with flame or smouldering along 200 mm of the powder train within the 2 minutes test period After 35s sample starts to melt and decomposes (sample temperature 250ºC). After 90s sample is completely degraded and turns into a black material (sample temperature 385ºC). As substance does not ignite and propagate combustion along 200 mm of the powder train within the four minutes test period, then the substance is not considered highly flammable and no further testing is required.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The substance does not ignite as it descomposes first.
