Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

In the investigation of self-ignition in the Grewer-oven for the pure test item a small endothermic effect was observed in the temperature range from 55 – 80 °C, which can be assigned to the loss of residual moisture. A second endothermic effect was detected in the temperature range from 150 – 190 °C accompanied by a small exothermic effect. After the test the wire basket of the pure test item was empty.

For the test item in mixture with Kieselguhr a small endothermic effect was observed in the temperature range from 55 – 70 °C. An exothermic effect was detected in the temperature range from 155 – 190 °C, which led to a maximum temperature of approx. 195 °C. After the test, the wire basket of test item in mixture with Kieselguhr was half empty.

The test item has a melting point of about 177 °C accompanied by decomposition, which confirms the results of the investigation of self-ignition in the Grewer-oven.
