Description of key information

For all the mixtures (4 -amino-m-cresol/cellulose) the combustion does not propagate when the Bunsen's burner flame was approached. Therefore 4 -amino-m-cresol does not have oxidizing properties.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Oxidising properties:
non oxidising

Additional information

The oxidizing property of 4-Amino-m-cresol was evaluated by following the EU Method A.17 (Oxidizing Properties (Solids)).

The test material was mixed with the dried cellulose in following 9 different ratios:

10/90, 20/80, 30/70, 40/60, 50/50, 60/40, 70/30, 80/20 and 90/10.

The mixture was formed into a 250 mm pile placed onto a stainless steel plate and the pile was ignited at one end by a Bunsen's burner flame.

The maximum burning rate (0.72 mm/sec) was achieved with barium nitrate (reference material) mixed with dried cellulose in the proportion 40 to 60 (w/w).

For all the mixtures (test material/cellulose) the combustion does not propagate when the Bunsen's burner flame was approached. 4-Amino-m-cresol does not have oxidising properties.

Justification for classification or non-classification

For all the mixtures (4 -amino-m-cresol/cellulose) the combustion does not propagate when the Bunsen's burner flame was approached. Therefore 4 -amino-m-cresol is classified as not oxidizing.
