- Executive summary:
Study performed in accordance with European Community (EC), EC no. 440/2008, Part A: Methods for the Determination of Physico-Chemical Properties, Guideline A.16: “Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids” and in compliance with the Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP).
The self-ignition temperature of 6,6’-di-tert-butyl-4,4’-butylidenedi-m-cresol was determined using a temperature programmed laboratory oven, a stainless steel wire mesh cube, NiCr/NiAl thermocouples and a temperature recording device.
Based on the results obtained the test substance is considered ‘not self-ignitable’.
Reference
No endothermic or exothermic effect of the test substance was observed between 20°C and 208-220°C (i.e. the melting temperature of the test substance; see sponsor’s information). It demonstrated that the test substance is not self-ignitable.
After the experiment, no test substance was left in the test cube or container that was placed below the cube. It indicated that the test substance had evaporated during the experiment.
Description of key information
Key value determined by experimental method utilising EU test guidance.
Based on the results obtained the test substance is considered ‘not self-ignitable’.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No endothermic or exothermic effect of the test substance was observed between 20°C and 208- 220°C (i.e. the melting temperature of the test substance; see sponsor’s information). It demonstrated that the test substance is not self-ignitable.
After the experiment, no test substance was left in the test cube or container that was placed below the cube. It indicated that the test substance had evaporated during the experiment.
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).
