Key result
Remarks on result:
other: exothermic effect at 260°C

An exothermic effect of the test substance by self-heating was observed at an oven temperature of 260°C. During this effect the test substance reached a temperature of 303°C. According to the guideline, a test substance is self-ignitable when the sample temperature reaches 400°C by self-heating. Based on this the test substance is considered ‘not self-ignitable’.

After the experiment, the test substance had turned into a black/brown/white residue and was collected in a container that was placed below the cube. Residue was also found in the cube. It indicated that the test substance had been expanded, decomposed and/or reacted during the experiment.

Conclusions:
The self-ignition temperature of MIZULAN FL-80 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’.
