Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key result
Relative self-ignition temperature:
> 400 °C
Remarks on result:
no self ignition observed under the test conditions

Assay No. 1

Duration of the test: 793.5 min

Rate: 0.50°C/min

Observations: At the start of the test, the test material was a white powder and remained white at the end of the test.

No self-ignition temperature of the test material was observed up to 400°C (corrected value).

 

Assay No. 2

Duration of the test: 788.0 min

Rate: 0.51°C/min

Observations: At the start of the test, the test material was a white powder and remained white at the end of the test.

No self-ignition temperature of the test material was observed up to 400°C (corrected value).

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the test, no self-ignition temperature of the test material was observed up to 400°C (corrected value).
Executive summary:

The relative self-ignition temperature of the test material was assessed according to EU Method A.16.

A volume of about 8 cm³ of the solid test material is placed in an oven at room temperature. The temperature / time curve relating to the conditions in the centre of the sample is recorded while the temperature of the oven increases to 420°C (at least) at a rate of about 0.5°C/min. The temperature of the oven at which the sample temperature reaches 400°C by self-heating is called the self-ignition temperature for the purpose of this test. Two assays are performed.

The observed temperatures (OT) are corrected using the calibration curves (obtained from the apparatus calibration with 6 temperatures from about 25°C to 420°C or 600°C by an external company) to calculate the corrected temperatures (CT).

In both assays the test material was a white powder and remained white at the end of the test.

No self-ignition temperature of the test material was observed up to 400°C (corrected value).
