Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Remarks on result:
other:

Measurement of auto-ignition temperature was determined using an instrument/procedure which operates at ambient atmospheric pressure. The ambient barometric pressure associated with this measurement was not reported, but is assumed to be at/near the standard pressure of 1013 hPa.

Executive summary:

The auto-ignition temperature of Bisphenol A is 510 °C at 1013 hPa (decomposition starts at lower temperatures).

Executive summary:

In the peer-reviewed handbook the auto flammability of phenol is reported to be 715 °C.

Description of key information

The auto-flammability is determined by the constituent Bisphenol A with a lower auto-ignition temperature of 510°C at 1013 hPa.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
