Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.16 (Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids)
GLP compliance:

The stainless steel mesh cube was filled with the trichromium dicarbide sample and placed in the center of the oven at room temperature. A thermocouple was placed in the center of the sample and another in the oven. The oven temperature was programmed to increase from ambient to 400 °C at a rate of 0.5 °C/min. The temperature/time curves relating to the condition in the center of the sample and the oven were recorded on a data logger. Before and after the test the appearance of the trichromium dicarbide was recorded.

Conclusions:
Trichromium dicarbide has been determined not to have a relative self-ignition temperature below 400°C.
