Room temperature: 21 - 26°C

Atmospheric pressure: 101.88 – 102.05 kPa

The autoignition temperature of the substance has been determined to be 240 ± 5°C

Conclusions:
An auto-ignition temperature value of 240 ± 5°C at 101.88-102.05 kPa has been determined for the substance using an appropriate test method. The result is considered reliable.

Description of key information

Auto-ignition temperature: 240 ± 5°C at 101.88-102.05 kPa (EU Method A.15)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
240 °C

Additional information

An auto-ignition temperature of 240 ± 5°C at 101.88-102.05 kPa was determined for the substance using a relevant test method and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered reliable and is selected as key study. flammability value of 240 ± 5°C was determined for the substance using an appropriate standard method and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered reliable and selected as key study.

The key study is supported by an auto-ignition temperature value of 235°C at 961.1 hPa using an appropriate test method.
