Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
auto-ignition temperature (liquids)
Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
Justification for type of information:
Prediction of Autoignition Temperatures of Organic Compounds from Molecular Structure: The models that are developed have predictive ability in the range of the experimental error of autoignition temperature measurements. Therefore these results are conparable to experimental measurements.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The calculated auto flammabilities of hexane, 2-methylpentane and 3-methylpentane were 230-276, 298-301 and 276-315 °C, respectively.
Executive summary:

A quantitative structure-property relationship study was performed to develop mathematical models that relate the structures of a heterogeneous group of organic compounds to their autoignition temperature values. Only the results in hexane, 2-methylpentane and 3-methylpentane are documented here.
