Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Remarks on result:
other:

A known volume of T-13h was injected into a heated open Erlenmeyer flask (200 ml) containing air. The contents of the flask were observed in a darkened room for five minutes following injection of a sample or until ignition occurred. Ignition was evidenced by the sudden appearance of a flame inside the flask. If a flame was not observed in five minutes, the volume of sample tested was considered non-flammable at the temperature of the test flask. If a flame was observed, the timer was stopped and the time interval between sample injection and the appearance of the flame recorded to the nearest second as the time-lag. The test was repeated at different temperatures and with different sample volumes until the minimum ignition temperature was obtained at any volume. The temperature was reduced by 2°C and six replicate tests conducted using the injection volume at which the lowest ignition temperature was found. The lowest flask temperature at which ignition occurred was taken as the auto-ignition temperature.

Conclusions:
T-13h was determined to have an auto-ignition temperature of 242°C.

Description of key information

T-13h was determined to have an auto-ignition temperature of 242°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

A determination of autoflammability was performed as part of a package of physicochemical testing (Huntingdon Life Sciences, 2008, study IDK0104). Autoflammability was determined according to EC Method A15, and the study was conducted in compliance with GLP.
