Auto-ignition temperature:
285 °C
Atm. press.:
102.7 kPa
Remarks on result:
other:

Any other information on results incl. tables

The performance of the equipment was verified by measuring the auto-ignition temperature of a reference item, benzyl acetate.

The auto-ignition of benzyl acetate was in agreement with a literature value (Fire Protection Agency).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The auto-ignition temperature of SHOP C6 alpha olefin is 285°C
Executive summary:

This has been chosen as the key study as it is GLP compliant and follows standard guidelines.
