Results and discussion

Relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
Remarks on result:
no self ignition observed under the test conditions

Any other information on results incl. tables

At temperatures above 260 °C the sample was observed to be decomposing. There were no signs of melting at temperatures up to 350 °C. It can therefore be concluded that barium neodecanoate decomposes before melting. The sample was not observed to ignite during the test. Therefore it can be concluded that the autoflammability temperature of barium neodecanoate is greater than 350 ºC.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
At temperatures above 260°C the sample was observed to be decomposing. There were no signs of melting at temperatures up to 350°C. It can therefore be concluded that the test item decomposes before melting. The sample was not observed to ignite during the test. Therefore it can be concluded that the autoflammability temperature of barium neodecanoate is greater than 350ºC.
