Results and discussion

Flammable solids
Key result
Test procedure:
burning rate test over 100 mm length
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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The substance is not classified as a flammable solid.
Executive summary:

The flammability of the substance was studied under GLP to UN Test N.1. The substance was formed into an unbroken train of material, approximately 250 mm long, on a non-combustible, impervious, low heat-conducting plate. A preliminary test was conducted to determine whether or not the sample ignites and propagates combustion over 200 mm within 2 minutes, either by burning with a flame or by smouldering. The test substances melted and ignited on application of the ignition source, but self-extinguished rapidly on its removal. It did not propagate combustion and the burning time over 200 mm could not be determined.
