Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
Self ignition was registered at a temperature of 230°C in a warm storage test in a wire basket.
Executive summary:

Study was conducted according to in-house safety standards, using the DTA.

A small exotherm reaction of the test substance occurs at a temperature of about 160°C, followed the main exothermic reaction at the temperature of 260°C.

Self ignition was registered from a temperature of 260°C. The test substance is considered to have the a potential to auto-ignite.
