Any other information on results incl. tables

Using an ignition source (flame or hot wire) at room temperature and at an elevated temperature of 100°C, the test item could not be ignited. No reaction was observed. No spreading of combustion was detected. The test item did not melt.

The product could not be ignited using the spark ignition in the Hartmann-tube. The product could also not be ignited using the glowing coil as ignition source in the Hartmann-tube.

The test item could not be ignited in the 20 l-sphere. No ignition meeting the criteria of a pressure increase of > 0.5 bar was detected. Thus, the product is a non-explosible dust.
