Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Test results (Oxidising solids)
Sample tested:
test mixture as specified
Parameter:
burning time of reaction over a distance of 200 mm
Remarks on result:
mixture does not ignite and burn

Any other information on results incl. tables

Since the burning rate is closer to that of the reference substance
the test item could have oxidizing properties.
However, these results could be a false positive since the test item is not a highly flammable substance (as reported in this GLP study).


In order to investigate the possible false positive hypothesis, the tests with the mixture (C, D and E) were repeated using kieselguhr (diatomaceous earth) as an inert support instead of the combustible cellulose.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
From the obtained experimental data according to the A.17 method in Council Regulation (EC)
No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008, it can be concluded that the test item formulation sample doesn’t
show oxidizing properties.
