Key result
Test procedure:
ignition time on contact with air
Remarks:
Ignition on contact with air refers to either Pyrophoric solids or Pyrophoric liquids depending on physical state (migrated information).
Remarks on result:
no ignition on contact with air (not further specified)
Remarks:
corresponding to 'no' in migrated source record. | Remarks: | Additional remarks: Ethyltriphenylfosfonium bromide ignited when the flame of bunsen burner having temperature of 950 degC was brought in contact with it.

Interpretation of results:
non flammable
Conclusions:
From the experimental values of flammability,ethyltriphenylfosfonium bromideignited when the flame of bunsen burner having temperature of 950 degC was brought in contact with it. Thus it can be concluded thatethyltriphenylfosfonium bromide is flammable only at high temperature of about 950 degC. However since such high temperatures are not found under normal circumstances of transportation and use,ethyltriphenylfosfonium bromidewas considered non-flammable.
Executive summary:

From the experimental values of flammability,ethyltriphenylfosfonium bromideignited when the flame of bunsen burner having temperature of 950 degC was brought in contact with it. Thus it can be concluded thatethyltriphenylfosfonium bromide is flammable only at high temperature of about 950 degC. However since such high temperatures are not found under normal circumstances of transportation and use,ethyltriphenylfosfonium bromidewas considered non-flammable.

Description of key information

From the experimental values of flammability,ethyltriphenylfosfonium bromideignited when the flame of bunsen burner having temperature of 950 degC was brought in contact with it. Thus it can be concluded thatethyltriphenylfosfonium bromide is flammable only at high temperature of about 950 degC. However since such high temperatures are not found under normal circumstances of transportation and use,ethyltriphenylfosfonium bromidewas considered non-flammable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
not classified

Additional information

From the experimental values of flammability,ethyltriphenylfosfonium bromideignited when the flame of bunsen burner having temperature of 950 degC was brought in contact with it. Thus it can be concluded thatethyltriphenylfosfonium bromide is flammable only at high temperature of about 950 degC. However since such high temperatures are not found under normal circumstances of transportation and use,ethyltriphenylfosfonium bromidewas considered non-flammable.

Justification for classification or non-classification

From the experimental values of flammability,ethyltriphenylfosfonium bromideignited when the flame of bunsen burner having temperature of 950 degC was brought in contact with it. Thus it can be concluded thatethyltriphenylfosfonium bromide is flammable only at high temperature of about 950 degC.
