Specific details on test material used for the study:

Identity: FAT 40827/A
Batch: T2 5572 BOP 01/06
Purity: determined in this study
Appearance: black sticky powder
Expiration date: 28.02.2011
Storage: at room temperature

Test procedure:

burning rate test: preliminary screening test

Burning time:

0 s

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

In contact with the ignition source, FAT 40827/A glowed and carbonized and the colour of gas flame changed to orange. 

FLAMMABILITY IN CONTACT WITH WATER AND PYROPHORIC PROPERTIES

Chemical Structure

The appraisal of the molecular structure indicates no risk with respect to pyrophoric properties or the potential of evolving flammable gases in contact with water or humid air. Studies were performed in aqueous test systems (e.g. water solubility). The test item did not show any spontaneous ignition or formation of flammable gases performing the above­ mentioned study. Thus, it can be concluded beyond reasonable doubt that the test item does not ignite spontaneously when in contact with water or humid air.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

No ignition was observed throughout the course of the test. The test item FAT 40827/A should be considered as not highly flammable.

Executive summary:

The flammability of the test item was evaluated in a study conducted according to EU Method A.10. In this study, the test item was formed into an unbroken strip or powder train about 250 mm long. The flame of the gas burner was used to ignite the pile at one end. A stop watch was held ready. No ignition was observed throughout the course of the test. Hence, the test item FAT 40827/A should be considered as not highly flammable.

Description of key information

The test item is non flammable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified

Additional information

The flammability of the test item was evaluated in a study conducted according to EU Method A.10. In this study, the test item was formed into an unbroken strip or powder train about 250 mm long. The flame of the gas burner was used to ignite the pile at one end. A stop watch was held ready. No ignition was observed throughout the course of the test. Hence, the test item FAT 40827/A should be considered as not highly flammable.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on data from flammability tests and handling experience, the substance is not subject to classification for flammability according to CLP (Regulation EC No 1272/2008).
