Referenceopen allclose all
Burning time > 45 sec. The substance is not readily combustible.
Description of key information
The ignition temperature is > 600°C. Carbon black (solid: particulate/powder) - non nano, will burn slowly (smolder) at > 400°C and sustain combustion that may not be visible in the powder or pellet form. The burning process may be so slow as to not be obvious (no visible flames or smoke) unless stirred and sparks are apparent. Direct water spray or stream may spread the fire due to the burning powder floating on the water.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable

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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
