Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
The sample showed an exothermal reaction that started at about 380 degC. The reaction temperatures did not reach the limit temperature of 400 degC. The wire mesh basket was empty after the measurement. Potassium dichromate can therefore be classified as not undergoing spontaneous combustion.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The test shows that potassium dichromate can be classified as not undergoing spontaneous combustion.
- Executive summary:
The test material was tested according to EC Test Procedure A 16. The sample showed an exothermal reaction that started at about 380 degC. The reaction temperatures did not reach the limit temperature of 400 degC. The wire mesh basket was empty after the measurement. Potassium dichromate can therefore be classified as not undergoing spontaneous combustion.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
