Description of key information
Auto flammability = none observed, EU Method A16, Tremain (2008).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
In the key study Tremain (2008), the auto flammability of the test material was determined in a GLP study conducted in accordance with EU Test Method A16. This study was assigned a reliability score of 1 in line with the principles for assessing data quality as define by Klimisch (1997).
An aliquot of the test material was suspended in a stainless steel mesh cube (approximately 20 x 20 x 20 mm) in an oven. A thermocouple was placed in the centre of the sample and another in the oven. The oven temperature was programmed to increase from ambient to 325 °C (which was approximately 10 °C higher than the melting temperature determined in the submitted study (Butler & White, 2008)) at a rate of 0.5 °C/min. The temperature/time curves relating to the condition in the centre of the sample and the oven were recorded on a two channel chart recorder.
Under the conditions of the test, the cube contained only black charred solid material. The test material was determined not to have a relative self-ignition temperature below its melting temperature.
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.
