Key result
Auto-ignition temperature:
265 °C

Preliminary Test

The estimated auto-ignition temperature was 270°C.

Main Study

The results of the main study on the determination of the auto-ignition temperature of the test item are given in Table 7.

Ignition of the test item within 5 minutes after introduction was observed with each sample volume and with each test a minimum auto-ignition temperature was obtained. The maximum deviation between the three values was < 10°C. According to the guidelines, no further testing was required.

The lowest temperature at which ignition of the test item occurred was 266°C. This temperature was rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5°C giving an auto-ignition temperature of the test item of 265°C.

Conclusions:
The auto-ignition temperature of the test substance was found to be 265 °C at 1013 hPa, under the conditions of the test.
Executive summary:

In this guideline (EU A.15) study, conducted with GMP, the auto-ignition temperature of the test substance was found to be 265 °C at 1013 hPa.

Description of key information

Study conducted to recognised testing guidelines with GMP.
