Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Preliminary test: The flammability (solids) was determined by measuring the burning rate of the test material prepared as a pile of dimensions. Testing was based on the Method A10 of the Commission directive 92/69/EEC (which constitutes Annex V of the Council directive 67/548/EEC).
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)

Test material

Name:
Unnamed
Type:
Constituent
Details on test material:
Sponsors identification: ARAKAWA KE-604
Description: pale yellow blocks
Batch No.: R61132
Purity: no data

Results and discussion

Pyrophoric solids
Test procedure:
ignition time on contact with air
Remarks:
Ignition on contact with air refers to either Pyrophoric solids or Pyrophoric liquids depending on physical state (migrated information).
Remarks on result:
no ignition on contact with air (not further specified)
Remarks:
corresponding to 'no' in migrated source record.
Pyrophoric liquids
Test procedure:
ignition time on contact with air
Remarks:
Ignition on contact with air refers to either Pyrophoric solids or Pyrophoric liquids depending on physical state (migrated information).
Remarks on result:
no ignition on contact with air (not further specified)
Remarks:
corresponding to 'no' in migrated source record.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The pile of test material ignited and burnt with an orange flame which self extinguished 3 seconds after the bunsen burner was removed, failing to propagate combustion. The result of the preliminary test obviated the need to perform the main test for flammability.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

Arakawa KE-604 has been determined to be not highly flammable as it did not propagate combustion over the 200 mm of the preliminary screeening test. The result of the preliminary screening test obliviated the need to perform the main flammability test.
