Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Room temperature: 19 to 20°C

Atmospheric pressure: 100.29 to 101.02 kPa

Conclusions:
auto-ignition temperature: 256 ± 5°C (at 100.29 to 101.02 kPa)
Executive summary:

The auto-ignition temperature was determined by heating aliquots of the test material in a flask and observing for any ignition. Testing was conducted using EU Method A15.

The test material 'Naphtha (Fischer-Tropsch), light, C4-10 - branched and linear' has been determined to have an auto-ignition temperature of 256 ± 5°C (at 100.29 to 101.02 kPa).

Description of key information
