Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Flammability: the substance is a flammable solid (EU method A.10.) when technically brought to a granular or solid form. The substance is solely marketed in a non solid or non granular form with 73.2 % water content (1.67 % in the tested powder). 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The preliminary screening test was performed and shows propagation over a distance of 200 mm into the specified time. Therefore the full test program was carried out. The shortest time to propagate burning for a 100 mm powder train, was 22 seconds with a burning rate of 4.5 mm/s. Therefore the substance is considered to be a flammable solid.

The substance has no pyrophoric properties and does not liberate flammable gases on contact with water.

The substance has a hygroscopic character and is solely marketed in a non solid or non granular form only (as paste with 73.2 % water), the flammability was tested with a powder of 1.67 % water content.

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging (CLP) of substances and mixtures, the substance is considered to be a flammable solid and would be categorised as Category 2 in the solid form (1.67 % water content). The substance has no pyrophoric properties and does not liberate flammable gases on contact with water. However, the substance has a hygroscopic character and is solely marketed in a non solid or non granular form (73.2 % water content). No risk of flammability is expected with the non solid form of the test substance.
