404 °C

Atm. press.:

ca. 101 kPa

Remarks on result:

other: atmospheric pressure not reported

Conclusions:

An auto-ignition temperature of 404°C was reported for the substance in a handbook or collection of reliable data which has been subject to peer-review

Description of key information

Auto-ignition temperature: 404°C

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:

404 °C

Additional information

An auto-ignition temperature value of 404°C was reported for the substance in a handbook or collection of reliable data which has been subject to peer-review. This value is above the boiling point of 79.6°C and represents the lowest temperature at which vapours of the registered substance will spontaneously ignite in a normal atmosphere without an external source of ignition.

In a secondary source to which reliability could not be assigned, an auto-ignition temperature value of 404°C was reported for the substance.
