Results and discussion
Flammable gases (Lower and upper explosion limit)open allclose all
- Parameter:
- lower explosion limit
- Value:
- 1.2 % (not further specified)
- Parameter:
- upper explosion limit
- Value:
- 7.8 % (not further specified)
Pyrophoric solids
- Test procedure:
- ignition time on contact with air
- Remarks:
- Ignition on contact with air refers to either Pyrophoric solids or Pyrophoric liquids depending on physical state (migrated information).
- Remarks on result:
- no ignition on contact with air (not further specified)
- Remarks:
- corresponding to 'no' in migrated source record.
Pyrophoric liquids
- Test procedure:
- ignition time on contact with air
- Remarks:
- Ignition on contact with air refers to either Pyrophoric solids or Pyrophoric liquids depending on physical state (migrated information).
- Remarks on result:
- no ignition on contact with air (not further specified)
- Remarks:
- corresponding to 'no' in migrated source record.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- highly flammable
- Remarks:
- Migrated information resulting on a flash point of -11°C
- Conclusions:
- A upper explsion limit of 7,8 % and lower explosion limit of 1,2 % is reported in a handbook or collection of reliable data which has been subject to peer-review and in which the original data sources are traceable. The result is considered to be reliable.
In contact with water the substance doesn´t liberates highly flammable gases cause of no decomposition under development of ignitable gases.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
