Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Reference 1

Endpoint:

relative self-ignition temperature (solids)

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study with acceptable restrictions

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.16 (Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids)

Deviations:

yes

Remarks:

The test item was stored at 10.9 - 31.4 °C instead of 20 ± 5 °C. This is uncritical as the test item is an inorganic substance. The heating rate was 0.59 K/min. instead of 0.5 K/min. This was considered also uncritical.

GLP compliance:

yes (incl. QA statement)

Remarks:

Key result

Remarks on result:

no self ignition observed under the test conditions

No sharp increase in the temperature of the sample in comparison to that of the oven could be detected, also no signs of ignition could be observed. After the measurement the test item remained unchanged.

Conclusions:

Test item Silicic acid Aluminium Magnesium Sodium Salt should be considered as not auto-flammable up to the 400 °C under the test conditions.

Description of key information

The substance silicic acid, aluminium sodium salt is an inorganic oxide in which the inorganic elements are in the highest possible oxidation state. Therefore the substance is incapable of further reaction with oxygen/air and can thus be designated as non-flammable.

Also, the read-across substance Silicic acid Aluminium Magnesium Sodium Salt was considered as not auto-flammable up to the 400 °C under the test conditions.

Additional information

based on structure the substance is incapable of reaction with oxygen/air
