Description of key information
The test results (higher burning rates with the test compound/cellulose mixture in comparison with the Ba(NO3)2/cellulose mixture and cellulose itself) indicate that the substance has oxidising properties. However the observations on the flame propagation, the flame itself and the resulting residues indicate that the higher burning rate is caused by flammable decomposition products and not by the oxidising properties of the test material.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Oxidising properties:
- no
Additional information
TBSI was tested for its oxidising properties according to EC guideline A17. It showed that TBSI burns cellulose significantly faster than pure cellulose and also faster than with the reference compound Ba(NO3)2. This would lead to the conclusion that the compound is oxidising.
However the way in which the cellulose/TBSI mixture burns
- much smoke
- flame propagation from the surface
- large flame front
- black sticky residue
Is very different from the way in which the cellulose/Ba(NO3)2 (a known oxidiser) burns
- no smoke
- flame propagation over the whole sample
- small flame front
- no residue
Therefore it is concluded that the faster flame propagation can not be caused by the oxidising properties of the test material. So, the test material is not oxidising. Also based on the chemical structure oxidising properties would not be expected for TBSI.
The most likely explanation of the faster flame propagation is that upon heating the test compound melts (mp 135 -140 °C) and decomposes. Decomposition leads to tert-butylamine, which is volatile and flammable.
