Description of key information

Negative test results were obtained in a flammability study as the test substance could not be ignited in the preliminary test, hence the substance is not classified as highly flammable in terms of its burning characteristics.

As the substance is known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days) and is known to be soluble in water to form a stable mixture no studies are needed with respect to "pyropholic solid” features and "Substance/ mixtures with in contact with water emits flammable gases", respectively.
Also no study is needed to determine self heating characteristics as the substance is completely molten at 160 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
non flammable

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the results of a GLP-compliant study and experience in manufacturing and handling the substance, the classification of the substance as flammable is not warranted in accordance with EU Directive 67/548/EEC and EU Classification, Labeling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
