Results
Assay No. 1
Duration of the test: 794.5 min
Rate: 0.50°C/min
Observations:
At the start of the test, the test item was a white powder.
At the end of the test, the cube was empty, the test item melted
The plot/curve is shown in figure attached (Graph 1)
Assay No. 2
Duration of the test: 796.5 min
Rate: 0.50°C/min
Observations
At the start of the test, the test item was a white powder.
At the end of the test, the cube was empty, the test item melted
The plot/curve is shown in figure attached (Graph 2)
Conclusion
No self-ignition temperature of the test item was observed up to the melting point at about 200°C (corresponding to the small endothermic peak).
Description of key information
Self-ignition temperature: no self-ignition up to the melting point of 200°C (EU Method A.16)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The self-ignition temperature of the substance was assessed in a study that was conducted in accordance with EU Method A.16 and in compliance with GLP. During the study, no self-ignition temperature of the test item was observed up to the melting point at about 200°C. The result is considered to be reliable and is used as key study.
A minimum cloud ignition temperature value of 590°C was determined for the milled sample (<63 µm) of the substance in accordance with BS EN 50281-2-1:1999.
