Key result
Remarks on result:
no self-ignition observed up to the melting point

Using a linear increase in temperature of about 0.5 °C/min, the test material showed no relevant exothermic reaction. The test material has a melting point of about 190 °C; the temperature range between 190 and 400 °C is therefore not relevant. At the end of the measurement period, the material ran out of the sample cube due to melting and was coloured black. The test material was determined to be not auto-flammable.

Conclusions:
The test material was determined to be not auto-flammable
Executive summary:

The relative ignition temperature of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guideline EU Method A.16 under GLP conditions.

Using a linear increase in temperature of about 0.5 °C/min, the test material showed no relevant exothermic reaction. The test material has a melting point of about 190 °C; the temperature range between 190 and 400 °C is therefore not relevant. At the end of the measurement period, the material ran out of the sample cube due to melting and was coloured black.

The test material was determined to be not auto-flammable in accordance with the criteria outlined in the EU guideline.

Description of key information

The test material was not auto-flammable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The relative ignition temperature of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guideline EU Method A.16 under GLP conditions. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).

Using a linear increase in temperature of about 0.5 °C/min, the test material showed no relevant exothermic reaction. The test material has a melting point of about 190 °C; the temperature range between 190 and 400 °C is therefore not relevant. At the end of the measurement period, the material ran out of the sample cube due to melting and was coloured black.

The test material was determined to be not auto-flammable in accordance with the criteria outlined in the EU guideline.
