Results
Preliminary Test
An approximate value of the ignition temperature of the test item was first determined by a preliminary test. Results of the preliminary test are summarized in the table below. An “ignition” is indicated as “+” and “no ignition” as “-“. 5 drops were added into the Erlenmeyer flask at each temperature.

Based on results of the main test series, the lowest auto-ignition temperature was 278 °C.
Regulation EC No. 440/2008 and DIN 51794: The auto-ignition temperature rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 °C was determined as 275 °C.
Final Results
The test item has an auto-ignition temperature of 275 °C according to the Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.15. Auto-Ignition Temperature (Liquids and Gases) and DIN 51794 (2003): Determination of Ignition Temperature.
Description of key information
Auto-ignition temperature: 275 °C at 1011.0 hPa (E.U. Method A.15)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
