Room temperature: 21 - 26°C

Atmospheric pressure: 101.88 – 102.05 kPa

The auto-ignition temperature of the substance has been determined to be 228 ± 5°C

Conclusions:
An auto-ignition temperature value of 228 ± 5°C at 101.88 – 102.05 kPa has been determined for the substance using an appropriate test method. The result is considered to be reliable.

Description of key information

Auto-ignition temperature: 228 ±5°C at 101.88-102.05 kPa (EU Method A.15)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
228 °C

Additional information

Four reliable measured auto-ignition temperature studies are available for the submission substance. An auto-ignition temperature value of 228±5°C at 101.88-102.05 kPa was determined for the substance using an appropriate test method in accordance with EU Method A.15 and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable and is selected as key study.

In available supporting studies, the substance has measured auto-ignition temperature values of 230°C, 235°C at 955 hPa and 260°C at 722-723 mmHg were determined for the substance in accordance with DIN 51794 Test Method and in compliance with GLP. The key study was selected as the study with the lowest auto-ignition temperature result, which is a conservative approach. The supporting studies are in good agreement with the key study.
