Reference
Description of key information
The auto-ignition temperature of octan-1-ol is 294°C at 1013 hPa.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
- 294 °C
Additional information
An auto-ignition temperature value of 294°C at 1013 hPa was determined in accordance with ASTM E 659. The result is considered to be reliable and is selected as key study.
It is supported by a value of 253°C, taken from a source of hazard reference data (the online International Chemical Safety Cards of WHO IPCS).
Discussion of trends in the Category of C6-24 linear and essentially-linear aliphatic alcohols:
As carbon number increases, auto-ignition temperature generally decreases. Molecular weight is higher and intermolecular forces in the substance are all higher.
