- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- STABILITY AND STORAGE CONDITIONS OF TEST MATERIAL
- Storage condition of test material: Controlled room temperature (15 to 25 ºC, below 70 RH %), protected from light - Key result
- Relative self-ignition temperature:
- 389 °C
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study, the relative self-ignition temperature of the test material was 389 °C.
- Executive summary:
The relative self ignition of the test material was determined in accordance with the standardised guideline EU Method A.16.
The wire mesh cube was filled with the test material, the cube was then suspended in the centre of the oven at room temperature. One thermocouple was placed at the centre of the cube and the other between the cube and the oven wall to determine the temperature difference of the sample and the oven. The temperature of the oven was increased at a rate of 0.5 °C/min. The self-ignition temperature as obtained by this method is the minimum ambient temperature expressed in °C at which the sample temperature reaches 400 °C under the above conditions. The experiment was repeated three times at about 98.0 – 98.2 kPa atmospheric pressure.
Under the conditions of the study the relative self-ignition temperature of the test material was 389 °C.
Reference
Three replicate tests were performed. The average of the measured data was reported (388, 391 and 389).
Description of key information
Under the conditions of the study the relative self-ignition temperature of the test material was 389 °C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
- 389 °C
Additional information
The relative self ignition of the test material was determined in accordance with the standardised guideline EU Method A.16.
The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
