Results and discussion

Results:
Uniform corrosion:
- The weight loss of the aluminum plates was < 13.5% (specimen 1: 0.0%; specimen 2: -0.007%; specimen 3: -0.004%)
- The weight loss of the steel plates was < 13.5% (all 3 specimens: -0.001%)
- Although no weight losses on the metals were obtained it was visually found that the metal plates had reacted with the test substance. It was observed that the colour of the aluminium plates was darker at the end of the test whereas the colour of the steel plates was darker at the edge and on the part of the plates which had not been dipped in the test solution.

Localized corrosion:
- Localized corrosion was not observed with the steel and aluminium plates.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In a GLP-compliant study performed in accordance with UN-MTC Section 37 (Test C.1; page 385) using aluminium and steel plates, all weight losses (uniform corrosion) were < 13.5% (i.e. equivalent to 6.25 mm/year corrosion rate). Localized corrosion was not observed. The test substance is therefore considered not corrosive to metals according to the CLP Regulation.
