Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Auto flammability
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- auto-flammability
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 6 September 2010
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- test procedure in accordance with generally accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient detail
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: Not stated
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- A condenser was used to collect any distillate from the substance, with a thermometer measuring the temperature of the test substance, and a second thermometer to monitor the condensate temperature. The sample was heated in air through a range of 150 ºC to 270 ºC.
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Key result
- Auto-ignition temperature:
- > 270 °C
- Atm. press.:
- ca. 101 325 Pa
- Remarks on result:
- other: The sample was not observed to ignite during the test
- Conclusions:
- The auto-ignition temperature of Fatty acids, C12-20 and C12-20-unsatd., 2-ethylhexyl esters cannot be determined as the substance begins to degrade before the autoignition point is reached.
- Executive summary:
A condenser was used to collect any distillate from the substance, with a thermometer measuring the temperature of the test substance, and a second thermometer to monitor the condensate temperature. The sample was heated in air through a range of 150 ºC to 270 ºC.
The sample was not observed to ignite during the test. At approximately 160ºC, the sample was seen to ‘smoke’, with no evidence of distillation or ignition, and no temperature rise at the condenser. The sample was noted to be darker in colour.
Heat was continually applied until the sample reached 270ºC. The sample was not observed to ignite.
Reference
At approximately 160 ºC, the sample was seen to ‘smoke’, with no evidence of distillation or ignition, and no temperature rise at the condenser. The sample was noted to be darker in colour. Heat was continually applied until the sample reached 270 ºC. The sample was not observed to ignite.
Description of key information
During the study to determine the boiling point of the sample, heat was continually applied until the sample reached 270 oC. Not ignition was observed.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
