Autoflammability

The autoflammability of 2,3 -dichloro-1,3 -butadiene (DCBD) is reported to be 415 °C at 1014 hPa (Currenta 2010).

Flammability

A waiver is proposed for this data requirement as the substance is a liquid.

Explosiveness

A waiver is proposed for this data requirement as the substance does not contain any chemical groups associated with explosive properties.

Oxidising properties

A waiver is proposed for this data requirement as the substance is incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials.

Stability in organic solvents

A waiver is proposed for this data requirement as the test substance as manufactured does not include an organic solvent and it is not formulated as an organic solution in any products.

Dissociation constant

A waiver is proposed for this data requirement as the substance does not contain any ionisable functionality.
