The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was 483±3°C (corrected temperature)

Conclusions:
An autoflammability value of 483±3°C at 1013 hPa was determined for the substance in accordance with a relevant test method and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable.

Description of key information

Autoignition temperature: 483°C (EU Method A.15)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
483 °C

Additional information

An autoignition temperature of 483±3°C was determined in a reliable study conducted according to an appropriate test protocol, and in compliance with GLP.
