Results and discussion
Flammable gases (Lower and upper explosion limit)open allclose all
- Key result
- Parameter:
- lower explosion limit
- Remarks on result:
- other: Non flammable as it decomposes above 52°C producing hydrofluoric acid (non flammable substance). Tetrafluoromethane decomposes on contact with hot surfaces or flames (decomposition temperature >= 52°C)
- Key result
- Parameter:
- upper explosion limit
- Remarks on result:
- other: Non flammable as it decomposes above 52°C producing hydrofluoric acid (non flammable substance). Tetrafluoromethane decomposes on contact with hot surfaces or flames (decomposition temperature >= 52°C)
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Tetrafluoromethane is a non flammable and non combustible gas. It decomposes on contact with hot surfaces or flames, above 52°C producing hydrofluoric acid (non flammable substance).
