Results and discussion

Flammable gases (Lower and upper explosion limit)
Key result
Parameter:
other: chemical characterisation
Remarks on result:
no flammable range with air at 20°C and 101.3 kPa
Remarks:
The substance itself does not burn, but in contact with combustible substances it increases the risk of fire and can fuel any existing fire substantially.
