- Auto-ignition temperature:
- 440 °C
- Atm. press.:
- >= 1 006.7 - <= 1 016.3 hPa
- Remarks on result:
- other: The lowest temperature at which ignition of the test substance occurred was 440 °C.
- Conclusions:
- The auto-ignition temperature of methyl (S)-lactate is 440 °C.
- Executive summary:
In a GLP study conducted according to EU Method A.15, the auto-ignition temperature of methyl (S)-lactate was determined. The test substance is auto-ignitable with an auto-ignition temperature of 440 °C under atmospheric pressure of 1006.7-1016.3 hPa.
Reference
Preliminary test
The estimated auto-ignition
temperature was 455 °C.
Main study
Three tests were performed, each in triplicate, varying the amount of test item that was introduced into the auto-ignition chamber. 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 maximum deviation between the three values was < 20 °C. According to the guidelines, no further testing was required. The reported auto-ignition temperature is the lowest temperature at which auto-ignition was recorded (rounded).
Description of key information
In a GLP study conducted according to EU Method A.15, the auto-ignition temperature of methyl (S)-lactate was determined. The test substance is auto-ignitable with an auto-ignition temperature of 440 °C under atmospheric pressure of 1006.7-1016.3 hPa.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
- 440 °C
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
