Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Reference
Endpoint:
relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2012
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.16 (Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids)
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Key result
Relative self-ignition temperature:
> 400 °C
Remarks on result:
no self ignition observed under the test conditions

On completion of testing no sample remained in the basket. Orange crystalline solid, black burnt solid and fine orange powder residues were observed inside the oven. It is suspected that an explosion / thermal decomposition occurred during the test but which did not meet the temperature rise criteria for a positive result

Conclusions:
In a study performed to EU Method A.16, no self-ignition was observed in ferrocene to 400°C at 1 atm

Description of key information

No self-ignition was observed in ferrocene to 400°C at 1 atm 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
401 °C
