Results of Preliminary Screening Test

Test No	Burning Time (s)	Comments
Preliminary Test	N/A	The sample melted to a brown liquid, no ignition or propagation was observed

From the preliminary screening test the sample was seen not to ignite and therefore no further testing was required.

Classification of substance: Not Highly Flammable
