Results and discussion

Flammable solids
Key result
Test procedure:
burning rate test: preliminary screening test
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

Any other information on results incl. tables

In the preliminary screening test following the EU and the UN method, the test substance was heated with the flame of a teclu burner. Melting to a clear colourless liquid was observed. After a short time the liquid became brown. No sign of ignition within two minutes.
