Results and discussion

Flammable solids

Test procedure:

burning time (test type not further specified)

Remarks:

or specified in description of method (migrated information)

Burning time:

1 793 s

Remarks on result:

other: Aluminum, benzoate C16-18-fatty acids complexes has been determined to be not highly flammable as it failed to propagate combustion along 200 mm within 4 minutes.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The pile ignited and burned with a yellow flame producing grey smoke; propagating combustion over 200 mm in 29 minutes and 53 seconds, leaving black charred remains. The result of the preliminary test obviated the need to perform the main test since the test item failed to propagate along 200 mm within 4 minutes.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: not highly flammable

Conclusions:

Aluminum, benzoate C16-18-fatty acids complexes was determined to be not highly flammable as it failed to propagate combustion along 200 mm within 4 minutes.

Executive summary:

Aluminum, benzoate C16-18-fatty acids complexes was determined to be not highly flammable as it failed to propagate combustion along 200 mm within 4 minutes.. The flammability of the test item was tested in a GLP-compliant test following the method EC440/2008 A10 (Harlan 2013). The study is considered to be reliable and relevant for use for this endpoint.
