Preliminary test

The estimated auto-ignition temperature was 345°C.

 

Main study

Ignition of the test item within 5 minutes after introduction was observed with each sample volume and with each test a minimum auto-ignition temperature was obtained. The maximum deviation between the three values was < 20°C. According to the guidelines, no further testing was required. The lowest temperature at which ignition of the test item occurred was 336°C. This temperature was rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5°C giving an auto-ignition temperature of the test item of 335°C.

Conclusions:
The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 335°C at between 1013 and 1020 hPa.
Executive summary:

The auto-ignition temperature was determined using EU Method A.15 and DIN 51794 under GLP. The auto-ignition temperature is the lowest temperature at which the test item will ignite when mixed with air under the conditions defined in the test method. Ignition of the test substance within 5 minutes after introduction was observed with each sample volume and with each test a minimum auto-ignition temperature was obtained. The maximum deviation between the three values was < 20°C. According to the guidelines, no further testing was required The lowest temperature at which ignition of the test item occurred was 336°C. This temperature was rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5°C giving an auto-ignition temperature of the test item of 335°C. Under the conditions of the study, the auto-ignition temperature was determined to be 335°C at between 1013 and 1020 hPa.
