Any other information on results incl. tables

A10: Preliminary test showed no ignition. However, when exposed to an ignition source when contained in a crucible the test material ignited after circa 50 seconds. A12: No gases were produced during any of the four tests as a result of the addition of water to the test item. SHOP C20-22 alpha olefin does not evolve flammable gases according to the EC test method. A13: No ignition was observed during the performance sof any of the two types of tests at 20°C. SHOP C20-22 alpha olefin is not pyrophoric according to the EC test method
