Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

In the investigation of self-ignition in the Grewer oven for the pure test item an endothermic process was observed starting at a temperature of approx. 100 °C, which leads into an exothermic effect starting at a temperature of about 140 °C. The exothermic effect shows two peaks at a reference temperature of 195 °C and 350 °C with maximum temperatures of approx. 315 °C and 650 °C. A brownish red residue remained in the wire basket after the test.

For the test item in mixture with Kieselguhr an exothermic process was observed starting at a temperature of approx. 120 °C. The exothermic effect shows two peaks at a reference temperature of approx. 200 °C and 360 °C with maximum temperatures of approx. 295 °C and 540 °C.

Results of the Grewer oven experiment:

- pure test item: approx. 140 °C onset self-ignition (max. temperature: 315 °C first peak; 650 °C second peak; cf. figures 1, 2)

- test item in mixture with Kieselguhr (1:1): approx. 120 °C onset self-ignition (max. temperature: 295 °C first peak; 540 °C second peak; cf. figures 1, 2)

Conclusions:
The pure test item indicated self-ignition at atmospheric pressure starting at a temperature of 140 °C.
Executive summary:

The relative self-ignition temperature of the test item was determined according to

- recommendations on the TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOODS: Manual of Tests and Criteria, 6th edition, New York and Geneva, 2015: Appendix 6 Screening Procedures, Division 4.2: Substances which may be liable to spontaneous combustion,

- VDI 2263 (1990), sheet 1, Grewer oven.

The pure test item indicated self-ignition at atmospheric pressure starting at a temperature of 140 °C.
