Results

Preliminary test

An approximate value of the ignition temperature of the test item was first determined in a preliminary test. Results are given in the table below. An “ignition” is indicated by + and “no ignition” by -. Five drops were added into the Erlenmeyer flask at each temperature.

Based on the results of the main test series, the lowest auto-ignition temperature was 232 °C.

Regulation EC No. 440/2008 and DIN 51794: The auto-ignition temperature rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 °C was determined as 230 °C.

 

Final results

The test item has an auto-ignition temperature of 230 °C according to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.15 Auto-Ignition Temperature (Liquids and Gases) and DIN 51794 (2003): Determination of Ignition Temperature.

Conclusions:
An auto-ignition temperature value of 230 °C (at 1023 to 1024 hPa) was determined for the test substance according to E.U. Method A.15.
