Key result
Relative self-ignition temperature:
241 °C
Remarks on result:
other: The temperature of the test substance exceeded 400°C at a corresponding oven temperature of 241°C

- An exothermal reaction of the test substance occurred at a temperature of 225°C and led to 420°C. The temperature of the test substance exceeded 400°C at a corresponding oven temperature of 241°C.

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study, the relative self-ignition temperature of the test substance was found to be 241°C.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the self-ignition temperature of the test substance according to EU Method A.16, in compliance with GLP.

8 cm3(4.8 g) of the test substance was placed in an oven at 27°C. The temperature of the oven at which the test substance temperature reached 400°C by self-heating was recorded while the temperature of the oven was increased to 400°C at a rate of 0.5°C/min.

An exothermal reaction of the test substance occurred at a temperature of 225°C and led to 420°C. The temperature of the test substance exceeded 400°C at a corresponding oven temperature of 241°C.

Under the conditions of the study, the relative self-ignition temperature of the test substance was found to be 241°C.

Description of key information

The relative self-ignition temperature of the test substance was found to be 241°C (Smeykal, 2006).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
