Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key result
Test procedure:
burning rate test over 100 mm length
Burning time:
0 min
Remarks on result:
substance does not ignite and propagate combustion either by burning with flame or smouldering along 200 mm of the powder train within the 2 minutes test period
Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
No ignition or combustion propagation occured during the 2 minute test flame application to the powder. The sample is therefore classified as 'not highly flammable'.
Executive summary:

The test item was analysed using test method OECD A-10. The test method involves forming an unbroken strip or powder train by means of a special mould.The pile is arranged across the draught in a fume cupboard and a hot flame from a gas burner (in
this case using propane/butane fuel) is applied for 2 minutes to one end of the pile. When
flammable materials are tested in this way, the rate of burning over a 100 mm distance is
measured after the pile has burned a distance of 80 mm.
If the substance does not ignite and propagate combustion either by burning with flame or
smouldering along 200 mm of the powder train within a 4 minute test period, then the substance
is considered not to be highly flammable and no further testing is required.


No ignition or combustion propagation occured during the 2 minute test flame application to the powder. The sample is therefore classified as 'not highly flammable'.

Description of key information

In accordance with EU A.10 the sample is classified as 'not highly flammable'.
