Description of key information

Auto-ignition = 285 °C at 102.3 kPa, EU Method A.15, Younis (2015)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
285 °C

Additional information

A study was performed to determine the auto-ignition temperature of the test material in accordance with the standardised guideline EU Method A.15 under GLP conditions. The study has been assigned a reliability score of 1 in line with the principles for assessing data quality as defined by Klimisch et al. (1997).

The test covers the determination of hot and cool flame auto-ignition temperatures of a liquid chemical in air at atmospheric pressure in a uniformly heated vessel. A small, metered sample of the product to be tested is inserted into a uniformly heated 500 mL glass flask containing air at a predetermined temperature. The contents of the flask are observed in a dark environment for 10 minutes following insertion of the sample, or until auto-ignition occurs.

Under the conditions of the study, the auto- ignition temperature of the test material has been determined to be 285 °C at 102.3 kPa.
