Endpoint:
relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
May 1997
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with national standard methods
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Deposited dust: This test determines the ignition temperature of a dry product on a hot surface. For a description of the method see "any other information on materials and methods".
GLP compliance:
not specified
Key result
Relative self-ignition temperature:
> 360 °C

At the highest tested temperature (360°C) there was no reaction observed for deposited 4 -Chlorobenzonitrile dust.

Conclusions:
No auto-ignition of deposited 4-Chlorobenzonitrile dust occurred on surfaces until 360°C.
Executive summary:

The test determines the ignition temperature of a deposited dusty test substance on hot surfaces. The test is conducted according to the test protocol. The surface area of the substance is increased intentionally in this test by preparing the test substance accordingly to simulate the deposited dusty properties. The ignition temperature of deposited dusty test material is expected to be lower than the ignition temperature of the solid with larger particle diameters. At the hottest temperature in this test (360°C) there was no reaction observed for deposited 4 -Chlorobenzonitrile dust.

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Dispersed dust: This test determines the ignition temperature of flammable dispersed dusty substances on hot surfaces. See section "any other information on materials and methods" for detailed description of the method.
GLP compliance:
not specified
Auto-ignition temperature:
> 600 °C
Remarks on result:
other: no reaction observed

At the highest tested temperature (600°C) there was no reaction observed for dispersed 4 -Chlorobenzonitrile dust.

Conclusions:
No auto-ignition of dispersed 4-Chlorobenzonitrile dust occurred on surfaces until 600°C.
Executive summary:

The test determines the ignition temperature of a dispersed dusty test substance on hot surfaces. The test is conducted according to a test protocol. The surface area of the substance is increased intentionally in this test by preparing the test substance accordingly to simulate the dispersed dusty properties. No auto-ignition of dispersed 4-Chlorobenzonitrile dust occurred on surfaces until 600°C.

Description of key information

Two tests for dusty 4-Chlorobenzonitrile are available evaluating the auto-flammability on hot surface for deposited and dispersed 4-Chlorobenzonitrile. No auto-ignition of deposited and dispersed 4-Chlorobenzonitrile dust occurred on surfaces until 360°C and 600 °C, respectively.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The test for deposited 4 -Chlorobenzonitrile was conducted for 5 min on a hot surface up to 360°C. No reaction was observed.

The test for dispersed 4 -Chlorobenzonitrile was conducted on a surface up to 600°C. No reaction was observed.

It is concluded that a potential self-ignition temperature of 4 -Chlorobenzonitrile is higher than 360 and 600 °C respectively.
