Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key result
Remarks on result:
no self-ignition observed up to the melting point
Conclusions:
Three replicate tests were performed. The relative self-ignition temperature of the test item: no ignition was observed up to around 100°C, when the test item melted.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this test is to provide preliminary information on the autoflammability of solid substances at elevated temperatures. A specific amount of the test substance is placed in an oven, in a wire-mesh cube at room temperature; the temperature difference/time curve of the sample of test item is recorded while the temperature of the oven is increased to the melting of test item (about to 100°C) at a rate of 0.5°C/min. For the purpose of this test, the temperature of the oven at which the sample temperature reaches 400°C by self-heating is called the self-ignition temperature.

Three replicate tests were performed. No relative self-ignition temperature of α,α’-Dichloro-p-xylene was observed up to around 100°C.

Description of key information

No relative self-ignition temperature of α,α’-Dichloro-p-xylene was observed up to around 100°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
