Any other information on results incl. tables

The test substance was loosely filled into a mould. This mould is made of aluminium, has a length of 250 mm and a triangular cross section with an inner height of 10 mm and an inner width of 20 mm. On both sides of the mould (in a longitudinal direction) two metal sheets are mounted as lateral limitations which project 2 mm beyond the upper edge of the triangular cross section. The mould was dropped three times from a height of 2 cm onto a solid surface. The lateral limitations were removed and the excess substance scraped off. A non-combustible and non-porous plate was placed on top of the mould, the apparatus was inverted and the mould removed

The substance could not be ignited, although it emitted yellow sparks and melted in contact with the

ignition source. After removal of the ignition source, no more sparks were observed.

The malten test substance turned brown.

In conclusion, The substance is not "highly flammable" according to the criteria of the directive.
