Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
Copper iodide
EC Number:
231-674-6
EC Name:
Copper iodide
Cas Number:
7681-65-4
Molecular formula:
CuI
IUPAC Name:
λ¹-copper(1+) iodide
Test material form:
solid: particulate/powder
Remarks:
migrated information: powder
Details on test material:
- Name of test material (as cited in study report): Copper iodide.
- Test material purity: 99.7 %
- Lot/batch No.: 108701/2

Results and discussion

Flammable solids
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

Any other information on results incl. tables

The pile failed to ignite during the 2 minutes that the Bunsen flame was applied.  The result of the preliminary screening test obviated the need to perform the main test.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not highly flammable.
Conclusions:
Copper iodide has been determined to be not highly flammable as it failed to ignite in the preliminary screening test.
