Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))
GLP compliance:
yes

In contact with the flame of the gas burner the test substance melted and turned into a yellow/brown residue. White smoke was observed. After removal of the ignition source, no propagation of combustion of the test substance was observed.

Interpretation of results:
non flammable
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Based on the results obtained, the test substance is considered ‘not highly flammable’.
Executive summary:

Study performed in accordance with European Community (EC), EC no. 440/2008, Part A: Methods for the Determination of Physico-Chemical Properties, Guideline A.10: “Flammability (Solids)” and in compliance with the Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP).

The preliminary screening test was performed for the determination of the flammability of 6,6’-di-tertbutyl-4,4’-butylidenedi-m-cresol.

No propagation of combustion of the test substance along 200 mm length of the pile within 4 minutes was observed. According to the guidelines, performance of the burning rate test is not required. Based on the results obtained, the test substance is considered ‘not highly flammable’.

Description of key information
