Key result
Remarks on result:
no self-ignition observed up to the melting point
Remarks:
An endothermic effect was observed at 78 °C, followed by exothermic decomposition at 244 °C. The maximum reaction temperature was 258 °C.

‘Sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (SDEC)' does not undergo spontaneous combustion when tested according to EU method A 16.

Conclusions:
No spontaneous combustion was detected. Findings were an endothermic effect at 78 °C, followed by exothermic decomposition at 244 °C and a maximum reaction temperature was 258 °C.
Executive summary:

The test substance did not show spontaneous combustion in a study performed in accordance with EU Method A.16 and in compliance with GLP. An endothermic effect was observed at 78 °C, followed by exothermic decomposition at 244 °C and the maximum reaction temperature was 258 °C.

Description of key information

Sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (SDEC) does not undergo spontaneous combustion when tested according to EU method A 16.
