Key result
Auto-ignition temperature:
380 °C
Atm. press.:
1 024.1 - 1 030.7 hPa

Preliminary study result:

Estimated auto ignition temperature was 410°C.

Main study result:

The result of the main study are shown in Table 2. Ignition of the test substance within 5 minutes after introduction was observed with each sample volume and with each test a minimum auto-ignition temperature was obtained. The maximum deviation between the three values was < 20°C.

The lowest temperature at which ignition of the test substance occurred was 380°C. This temperature was a multiple of 5°C and therefore given as the auto-ignition temperature of the test substance.

Conclusion

Commercially available auto-ignition temperature apparatus was used for the determination of the degree of auto-ignitability of 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propiononitrile.

The test substance is auto-ignitable with an auto-ignition temperature at 1024.1 – 1030.7 hPa of 380°C

Conclusions:
A minimum auto-ignition temperature of 380°C at 1024.1 – 1030.7 hPa was determined for the substance in accordance with an appropriate test method and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable.

Description of key information

Auto-ignition temperature: 380°C at 1024.1 to 1030.7hPa (DIN 51794)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
380 °C

Additional information

An auto-ignition temperature value of 380°C at 1024.1 to 1030.7 hPa was determined for the substance using a relevant test method and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable.
