Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not highly flammable
Conclusions:
The test item has not be classified as
readily combustible solid acc. to UN class 4.1
flammable solid acc. to GHS
highly flammable solid acc. to EG 440/2008

Executive summary:

The burning rate of the test item was 2 (brief ignition and rapid extinction) as well for room temperature as well as for 100°C. In mixture with Kieselgur burning rate 5 (burning with flame) was determined for both temperatures (The last one is not relevant for classification).

The determination of the burning velocity was not required therefore.
