Key result
Relative self-ignition temperature:
ca. 297 °C

Applying a linear increase in temperature of about 0.5°C/min, the test substance showed an exothermic reaction starting at about 285 °C. A maximum temperature of 595 °C was measured in the sample cube during the exothermic reaction. At the end of the measurement, the test item was carbonized and grey coloured. The test substance shows a relative self-ignition temperature at about 297°C.

Conclusions:
Applying a linear increase in temperature of about 0.5°C/min, the test substance showed an exothermic reaction starting at about 285 °C. A maximum temperature of 595 °C was measured in the sample cube during the exothermic reaction. At the end of the measurement, the test item was carbonized and grey coloured. The test substance shows a relative self-ignition temperature at about 297°C.
Executive summary:

The determination of the relative self-ignition temperature of the test item was performed according to the EEC Directive 92/69, Part A, Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties, A.16 “Relative self-ignition temperature for solids”, EEC Publication No. L383, December 1992. Applying a linear increase in temperature of about 0.5°C/min, the test substance showed an exothermic reaction starting at about 285 °C. A maximum temperature of 595 °C was measured in the sample cube during the exothermic reaction. At the end of the measurement, the test item was carbonized and grey coloured. The test substance shows a relative self-ignition temperature at about 297°C.
