The design of this study is based on the following guidelines:

Auto-ignition temperature

EC Guideline A.15. Auto-Ignition Temperature (Liquids and Gases). March 04, 2016.

Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) Guide 51794: Determining the Ignition Temperature of Petroleum Products. May 2003.

 

The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined using a commercially available auto-ignition temperature instrument (Model: FLC-2). The system is applicable to test items with an auto-ignition temperature in the range 75°C – 650°C.

In every ignition test, liquefied test item was introduced into a preheated test vessel using a volumetric pipette. It was observed visually whether a reaction (clearly perceptible flame and/or explosion) of the sample within five minutes after introduction took place at the prevailing temperature. After each ignition test, any vaporizable components left in the flask were blown out with air.

 

Results

Preliminary Test

The estimated auto-ignition temperature was 420°C.

 

Main Study

Ignition of the test item within 5 minutes after introduction was observed with each sample volume and with each test a minimum auto-ignition temperature was obtained. The maximum deviation between the three values was < 20°C. According to the guidelines, no further testing was required.

The lowest temperature at which ignition of the test item occurred was 419°C. This temperature was rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5°C giving an auto-ignition temperature of the test item of 415°C.

 

Commercially available auto-ignition temperature apparatus was used for the determination of the degree of auto-ignitability of ISO-MIX.

The test item is auto-ignitable with an auto-ignition temperature of 415°C.

The atmospheric pressure was 1015 hPa.

Description of key information

The test item is auto-ignitable with an auto-ignition temperature of 415°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:

Additional information

Commercially available auto-ignition temperature apparatus was used for the determination of the degree of auto-ignitability of ISO-MIX.

The test item is auto-ignitable with an auto-ignition temperature of 415°C.

The atmospheric pressure was 1015 hPa.
