Flash point

A flash point study is applicable for liquid substances, while a flammability study is applicable for solids. Bis(4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenyl)amine is a solid, therefore the flammability study is more applicable for testing and the flash point study is waived.

 

Autoflammability / self-ignition temperature

In a study conducted according to EU Method A10 (not conducted to GLP), when the flame was applied to bis(4-(1,1,3,3 -tetramethylbutyl)phenyl)amine it melted. When the flame was applied to a liquid sample of bis(4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenyl)amine it did not ignite within the four minute test period. The substance should not be considered as highly flammable and no further testing is required (Intertek, 2012).

Flammability

In a study conducted according to EU Method A10 (not conducted to GLP), when the flame was applied to bis(4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenyl)amine it melted. When the flame was applied to a liquid sample of bis(4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenyl)amine it did not ignite within the four minute test period. The substance should not be considered as highly flammable and no further testing is required (Intertek, 2012).

 

Explosive properties
