Experimental test result performed using standard test guidelines

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

other: as mention below

It is how easily substance can burn or ignite, causing fire or combustion by brief contact with an ignition source (such as a burning match)

GLP compliance:

no

Specific details on test material used for the study:

- IUPAC Name: Castor Oil, ethoxylated
- Smiles: CCCCCCC(CC=CCCCCCCCC(=O)OCC(C(=O)OCCCCCCCC=CCC(O)CCCCCC)OC(=O)CCCCCCC=CCC(O)CCCCCC)OCCOCCOCCOCCOCCO
- Molecular formula:C65H120O14

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: Castor oil, ethoxylated ignited when the flame of bunsen burner having temperature of 950 degC was brought in contact with it

Interpretation of results:

other: non-flammable.

Conclusions:

From the experimental values of flammability, Castor oil, ethoxylated ignited when the flame of bunsen burner having temperature of 950 degC was brought in contact with it. Thus it can be concluded that Castor oil, ethoxylated is flammable only at high temperature of about 950 degC. However since such high temperatures are not determine under normal circumstances of transportation and use,Castor oil, ethoxylated was considered non-flammable.

Executive summary:

From the experimental values of flammability, Castor oil, ethoxylated ignited when the flame of bunsen burner having temperature of 950 degC was brought in contact with it. Thus it can be concluded that Castor oil, ethoxylated is flammable only at high temperature of about 950 degC. However since such high temperatures are not determine under normal circumstances of transportation and use,Castor oil, ethoxylated was considered non-flammable.
