Key result
Relative self-ignition temperature:
> 220 °C

Three replicate tests were performed. The relative self-ignition temperature of Hexamidine diisethionate: no ignition was observed up to 220°C.

There was no deviation from the Study Plan.

Conclusions:
The test item was not auto-flammable under the conditions of the test.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this test was to provide preliminary information on the auto-flammability of solid substance at elevated temperatures. A specific amount of the test substance was placed in a wire-mesh cube into an oven at room temperature; the temperature difference/time curve of the sample of test item was recorded while the temperature of the oven is increased to the melting of test item (about to 215°C, supplied by the Sponsor) at a rate of 0.5°C/min. For the purpose of this test, the temperature of the oven at which the sample temperature reaches 400°C by self-heating is called the self-ignition temperature.Three replicate tests were performed. No relative self-ignition temperature of Hexamidine diisethionate was observed up to 220°C.

The test item was not auto-flammable under the conditions of the test.

Description of key information

No relative self-ignition temperature of Hexamidine diisethionate was observed up to 220°C.

The test item was not auto-flammable under the conditions of the test.
