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

According to EC 1907/2006 Annex XI only the flammability of liquids is deduced from the flash point. For this solid substance a flash point was determined because the substance melts at relative low temperatures. Therefore the flammability in this case could be deduced from the flash point.

Flash point: 282 °C (closed cup)

Based on experience in handling and use pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are not to be expected.

The substance is not self-heating, because it is a solid completely molten at 160 °C.

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 or Directive 67/548/EEC, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification: The substance is non flammable due to the flashpoint (282 °C closed cup) and based on the experience in handling and use, pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are not expected. The substance is not self-heating, because the melting point is below 160 °C.
