Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: no oxidising properties
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The test substance is not an oxidizer
Executive summary:

The oxidising properties of the test substance was determined by EU Method A.17. A reduced testing program was employed because the slow burning rate of the test substance mixtures, relative to that of the reference mixture, demonstrated that the test substance is attenuating the burning properties of cellulose and not enhancing them.

Based on the study data, it is concluded that the test substance is not an oxidiser.
