Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Data Evaluation: The auto-ignition temperature is the lowest temperature that will result in the ignition of the test item after being injected into the test flask.

Test Temperature (ºC) Test Volume (μL) Ignition Delay (s) Observations
200 (clean flask) 0.2 >300 No ignition.
250 (clean flask) 0.2 >300 No ignition.
300 0.2 >300 No ignition. Grey fumes were emitted.
350 0.2 >300 No ignition. Grey fumes were emitted.
400 (clean flask) 0.2 14 An orange flame. Grey fumes were emitted.
380 (clean flask) 0.2 >300 No ignition. Grey fumes were emitted.
390 (clean flask) 0.2 >300 No ignition. Grey fumes were emitted.
392 (clean flask) 0.2 >300 No ignition. Grey fumes were emitted.
394 0.2 8 An orange flame. Grey fumes were emitted.
392 (clean flask) 0.4 >300 No ignition. Grey fumes were emitted.
392 (clean flask) 0.6 >300 No ignition. Grey fumes were emitted.
392 (clean flask) 0.8 >300 No ignition. Grey fumes were emitted.
392 (clean flask) 1.0 >300 No ignition. Grey fumes were emitted.
Room temperature: 18 to 22 °C Atmospheric pressure: 100.2 to 101.5 kPa
Conclusions:
The test item has been determined to have an auto-ignition temperature of 394 ± 5 °C at 100.2 to 101.5 kPa.
Executive summary:

Auto-Ignition Temperature (Liquids and Gases) was determined to be 394 ± 5 °C, using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A.15 Auto-Ignition Temperature (Liquids and Gases) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

Description of key information
