Description of key information

Study scientifcally unjustified.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
non flammable

Additional information

The study is scientifically unjustified as 75% of the UVCB substance (as described in section 1.2) is Mg(OH)2 (CAS: 1309-42-8) which is non-flammable and an often used inorganic flame retardant.

Literature source: The application of magnesium hydroxide as a fire retardant and smoke-suppressing additive for polymers. Fire and Materials, 18, pp 269 -276. Author P. R. Hornsby.

Based on these considerations, the UVCB substance is not classified as flammable.
