Key result
Auto-ignition temperature:
> 327 - < 337 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 98.9 kPa

Auto-ignition Temperature

Testing was carried out over two days; the atmospheric pressure was 97.4 kPa for the first day and 98.9 kPa for the second day. The auto-ignition result was determined from the second day of testing.

 

The atmospheric pressure at the time of the last ignition was 98.9 kPa. The lowest temperature at which an ignition occurred was 332°C with an injection of 1000 µL and the highest temperature with no ignition at the same injection volume was 327°C. Based on this the auto-ignition temperature of the test substance was 332±5°C.

 

The full results are shown in Table 4.

Conclusions:
The auto-ignition temperature of the test substance was found to be 332 ± 5 °C at 1013 hPa, under the conditions of the test.
Executive summary:

In this guideline (EU A.15) study, conducted with GLP certification, The auto-ignition temperature of the test substance was found to be 332 ± 5 °C at 1013 hPa.
