Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

other: Acceptable, well-documented study report which meets basic scientific principles.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Grewer screening and hot storage test, similar to procedure in VDI 2263 sheet 1
Auto-ignition temperature:
ca. 230 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 1 013 hPa

at atm. press. of ca.1013.0 hPa

The Grewer oven screening showed self-heating to ca. 330 °C starting from 230 °C.

Another self-heating effect appears above 300 °C (max. temp. ca. 430 °C).

The hot storage test revealed weak self-heating.

When stored at 194 °C, the sample reached a maximum temperature of 199 °C 5.1 h (306 min) after temperature equalisation (which occurred 5.7 h after the start of the test).

Conclusions:
The Grewer oven screening showed self-heating at 230 °C. The hot storage test at 194 °C revealed weak self-heating of 5 °C within 25 hours. The test item is not a self-heating solid of UN class 4.2.
Executive summary:

Self-ignition of the test substance was investigated by a Grewer oven screening and a hot storage test. The Grewer oven screening showed self-heating at 230 °C. The hot storage test at 194 °C revealed weak self-heating of 5 °C within 25 hours (270 g test substance).

The test item is not a self-heating solid.

Description of key information

The Grewer oven screening showed self-heating at 230 °C. The hot storage test at 194 °C revealed weak self-heating of 5 °C within 25 hours. The test item is not a self-heating solid of UN class 4.2
