Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

- Key result
- Test procedure:
- burning rate test: preliminary screening test
- Remarks on result:

Reference
Results
The test item melted and discoloured itself to white if it came into contact with the Butan burner flame. A inflammability of the test item was not possible. An independent burning of the test item without the contact of the burner flame was also not possible. The test of the duration of burn down was cancelled. The test item is not low inflammable.
Description of key information
non flammable
no pyrophoricity
no flammability on contact with water
not self-heating
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- not classified
Additional information
The test substance was determined to be non-flammable according to E.U. Method A.10.
Based on the chemical structure and experience in handling and use, pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are not expected.
The substance is completely molten at a temperature well below 160 °C and therefore shows not self-heating behaviour if it is not absorbed on a large surface.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on flammability on ignition, flammability in contact with water, pyrophoricity and self-heating of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
