Preliminary test

The estimated auto-ignition temperature was 268 °C at atmospheric pressure: 1012.5 hPa.

 

Main study

Based on results of the main test series, the auto-ignition temperature rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 °C was determined as 230 °C.

Conclusions:
The auto-ignition temperature was determined to be 230 °C at 1005.9 -1013.5 hPa (atmospheric pressure).
Executive summary:

The auto-ignition temperature was determined using EU Method A.15 and DIN 51794 (2003). The auto-ignition temperature is the lowest temperature at which the test substance will ignite when mixed with air under the conditions defined in the test method. Ignition of the test substance within 5 minutes after introduction was observed with each sample volume and with each test a minimum auto-ignition temperature was obtained. The lowest temperature at which ignition of the test substance occurred was 235°C. This temperature was rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5°C. The auto-ignition temperature was determined to be 230 °C at 1005.9 – 1013.5 hPa.

Additional information

Key data : EU Method A.15, 2015 : The auto-ignition temperature was determined using EU Method A.15 and DIN 51794 (2003). The auto-ignition temperature is the lowest temperature at which the test substance will ignite when mixed with air under the conditions defined in the test method. Ignition of the test substance within 5 minutes after introduction was observed with each sample volume and with each test a minimum auto-ignition temperature was obtained. The lowest temperature at which ignition of the test substance occurred was 235°C. This temperature was rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5°C. The auto-ignition temperature was determined to be 230 °C at 1005.9 – 1013.5 hPa.
