Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Any other information on results incl. tables

ignition temperature appears to strongly depend on the quantity and specification of the iron oxide yielding during the test. Finely divided iron oxide may even catalyse the combustion reaction, such that in a worst case scenario, self ignition of the substance can occur even below 55°C.
