Conclusions:
The autoignition temperature at atmospheric pressure was determined to be 363 °C with an ignition delay time of 29.7 seconds.
Executive summary:

The autoignition temperature was determined in a study performed according to ASTM E659-06. Increments of the test sample were admitted to a 500 mL round bottom borosilicate glass flask held within a temperature controlled enclosure. Samples are injected into the flask over a range of predetermined temperatures and the flask contents are observed in a dark room for 10 minutes following insertion of the sample, or until autoignition occurs. The autoignition temperature at atmospheric pressure (766 mm Hg) was found to be 363°C with an ignition delay time of 29.7 seconds.
