Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flammable solids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 29 May 2017
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Key result
- Test procedure:
- burning rate test: preliminary screening test
- Remarks on result:
- substance does not ignite and propagate combustion either by burning with flame or smouldering along 200 mm of the powder train within the 2 minutes test period
- Remarks:
- The test substance melts
Reference
In the preliminary screening test the substance is not ignited by a hot flame from a gas burner. The test substance melts.
According to the definition in the Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 that is pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 the test item has not to be considered as flammable.
Description of key information
non flammable
no pyrophoricity
no flammability on contact with water
not self-heating
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- not classified
Additional information
The substance is not to be considered as flammable (EU Method A.10)
Based on experience in handling and use and the chemical structure pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are not to be expected.
The substance is completely molten at 160 °C, therefore it can be considered as not self-heating.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on flammability of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification:
The substance is not to be considered as flammable (EU Method A.10)
Based on experience in handling and use and the chemical structure pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are not to be expected.
The substance is completely molten at 160 °C, therefore it can be considered as not self-heating.
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).
