Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 280 °C.
Executive summary:

An experimental study was conducted to determine the auto-ignition temperature of the test item according to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 and DIN 51794. Samples were injected by means of a volumetric syringe to assure a rapid injection. The time lag between injection and ignition was measured for all tests up to 5 minutes. The auto-ignition temperature was determined in three test series. The lowest auto-ignition temperature rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 °C was determined as 280 °C.

Description of key information

The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 280 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
280 °C
