9.2 Other information

Combustibility index for : 2 (ca. 21 °C)
deposited dust
Dust explosion class : St(H)2 (Product sample; The value was determined in the
modified Hartmann tube.)

Minimum ignition energy : > 1 - 3 mJ (Product sample, Median value of the tested
sample 0,128 mm)
The Minimum ignition energy (MIE) of a dust/air mix depends
on the particle size the water content and the temperature of
the dust. The finer and the dryer the dust the lower the MIE.

: General remark: The indicated dust explosion characteristics

are only valid for this product and are sensitive to the sample's
parameters.

Powder volume resistivity : ca. 6E+12 Ohmm (Product sample )

The material can accumulate static charge and can therefore
cause electrical ignition.

Minimum ignition : ca. 430 °C
