Guanidinium nitrate

Flammability

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Reference 1

Endpoint:

flammable solids

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

comparable to guideline study with acceptable restrictions

Qualifier:

equivalent or similar to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))

Deviations:

yes

Remarks:

method comparable to preliminary sceening test

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Check of flammability:
1. contact with Platin-wire (1000°C)
2. contact with the hot flame of gas burner (15 sec)
3. 150mg substance in red hot glowing iron cup

GLP compliance:

not specified

Key result

Test procedure:

burning time (test type not further specified)

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

No ignition of substance with

platin wire (1000°C)

gas flame.

After application of 150 mg substance on a red glowing iron cup the substance burne quickly with flames.

Red-glowing-iron-cup -test is not relevant for classification as flammable, as no ignition of

Guanidinium Nitrate was possible with gas flame or glowing platinum wire.

Test is not approved or suitable and therefore not relevant.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results:
non flammable; other: not pyrophoric, no liberation of flammable gases on contact with water
Guanidinium nitrate is not flammable. According to structure Guanidinnitrate is not pyrophoric and will not liberate flammable gases on contact with water.

Executive summary:

Guanidinium nitrate is not flammable. According to structure Guanidinnitrate is not pyrophoric and will not liberate flammable gases on contact with water.

no

Key result

Test procedure:

burning time (test type not further specified)

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

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The guanidinium nitrate does not show any ignition sensitivity. Any ignition properties of the substance could not be determined as the sample did not ignite in any of performed experiments.

Executive summary:

The guanidinium nitrate does not show any ignition sensitivity. Any ignition properties of the substance could not be determined as the sample did not ignite in any of performed experiments.

Description of key information

Guanidinium nitrate is not classified für flammability.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified

Additional information

Guanidinium nitrate is not flammable. According to structure Guanidinnitrate is not pyrophoric and will not liberate flammable gases on contact with water.

Justification for classification or non-classification

In the tests similar to the preliminary tests according to EU A.10 Gunanidin nitrate does not ignite. Guanidin nitrate is not pyrophoric and will not liberate flammable gases on contact with water according to structure.
