Reference
Endpoint:
flammable solids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
July 2016 - October 2016
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Remarks:
Study conducted to standard guidelines and with GLP. Report well documented.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Identification: Rosin dimers, calcium, zinc salt
Appearance/Physical state: Pale brown crystalline solid
Batch: 179449
Purity: 100% (as UVCB)
Expiry date: 24 March 2017
Storage conditions: Approximately 4 °C, under nitrogen, in the dark
Key result
Test procedure:
burning rate test: preliminary screening test
Burning time:
4 min
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

The pile ignited but failed to propagate combustion before self-extinguishing in the two minutes the Bunsen flame was applied. The result of the preliminary screening test obviated the need to perform the main test.

The test item has been determined to be not highly flammable as it failed to propagate combustion in the preliminary screening test.

Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test item has been determined to be not highly flammable as it failed to propagate combustion in the preliminary screening test.
Executive summary:

The flammability of calicium zinc salts of oligomers of rosin was determined by measuring the burning rate of test item prepared

as a pile of set dimensions according to Method A.10 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008. The test item has been determined to be not highly flammable as it failed to propagate combustion in the preliminary screening test.
