Description of key information

Precursor PD 206  was found to be neither a pyrophoric liquid, nor flammable liquid contacting with water according to EU Test Method A.12 and A.13.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The test was designed to determine the ability of a substance to emit flammable gases on contact with water by bringing it into contact with water under a variety of conditions. The substance is considered hazardous if spontaneous ignition occurs during any of the tests or if there is an evolution of flammable gas at a rate greater than 1 kg/ L / h. No gas generation or spontaneous ignitions were observed during any of the tests. The sample does not generate flammable gases in contact with water.

The test was performed to determine if a sample of Precursor PD 206 is a pyrophoric liquid. A small quantity of the sample (1-2 mL) was dropped from a height of approximately 1 metre onto a non-combustible surface. It was observed if the sample ignited on dropping or within 5 minutes of settling. The test was performed six times. No ignition or charring was observed during any test. Precursor PD 206 is therefore ‘not a pyrophoric liquid’.
