Flammable solids are materials which, under conditions encountered in transport, are readily combustible or may cause or contribute to fire through friction, self-reactive substances which are liable to undergo a strongly exothermic reaction or solid desensitised explosives. Also included are substances which are liable to spontaneous heating under normal transport conditions, or to heating up in contact with air, and are consequently liable to catch fire and substances which emit flammable gases or become spontaneously flammable when in contact with water.
Flammable solids are capable of posing serious hazards due to their volatility, combustibility and potential in causing or propagating severe conflagrations.
Alkali metals, Metal powders, Aluminium phosphide, Sodium batteries, Sodium cells, Firelighters, Matches, Calcium carbide, Camphor, Carbon, Activated carbon, Celluloid, Cerium, Copra, Seed cake, Oily cotton waste, Desensitised explosives, Oily fabrics, Oily fibres, Ferrocerium, Iron oxide (spent), Iron sponge/direct-reduced iron (spent), Metaldehyde, Naphthalene, Nitrocellulose, Phosphorus and Sulphur.
Class 4.1 flammable solids are materials which, under conditions encountered in transport, are readily combustible or may cause or contribute to fire through friction, self-reactive substances which are liable to undergo a strongly exothermic reaction or solid desensitised explosives. Eg: Red Phosphorous, Hexamine, Naphthalene, Camphor. Class 4.1 Flammable Solid labels are designed to stick to...
Class 4.2 Spontaneously Combustable materials that will catch fire if exposed to air without any heat being applied (that is, the heat from the normal air is sufficient for them to catch fire - no other source of heat is required). Eg: White Phosphorous, Fish meal, Cotton Waste, Hay or Straw, Peat, Sugar, Metal powders, Celluloid, Soybean products. Class 4.2 Spontaneously Combustable labels are...
Class 4.3 Dangerous When Wet, when contact with water these materials can become spontaneously combustible or liberate flammable or toxic gases. Eg: Aluminium Phosphide (liberates phosphine gas), Calcium Carbide (liberates acetylene), Sodium.Class 4.3 Dangerous When Wet labels are designed to stick to Emergency Information Panels (EIP's), shipping containers, IBC's and hazardous gas substances...
