Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

The self-ignition temperature (auto-flammability) was examined using EU Method A.16.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

During this study, the self-ignition characteristics were determined. Lypholized KGA was filled into a cube and heated in an oven. The temperatures of the oven and the sample were continuously recorded while the temperature of the oven was increased to approximately 400 °C. However, KGA (2 -Keto-L-gulonic acid anhydrous) showed no exothermic reaction. Therefore, KGA is not auto-flammable according to the criteria.
