Any other information on results incl. tables
burning level = 6: very quick combustion under flame-ocurrence
speed of combustion: 34.5 s/100 mm (average value)
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- With an average combustion-speed of 34.5 s/100 mm methenamine was determined to be highly flammable (combustion-speed < 45 s/100 mm).
- Executive summary:
With an average combustion-speed of 34.5 s/100 mm methenamine was determined to be highly flammable (combustion-speed < 45 s/100 mm).
burning level = 6: very quick combustion under flame-ocurrence
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
