Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

Relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
Key result
Relative self-ignition temperature:
ca. 198 °C

Any other information on results incl. tables

Interpretation: The self-ignition temperature of the test item is the minimum ambient temperature expressed in °C at which a certain volume of a substance ignites under defined conditions.

Results: The plots of the oven temperature and sample temperature versus time are shown in Figure 3, see attached. A strong exothermic effect of the test item was observed. The temperature of the test item reached 400°C at an oven temperature of 198°C. It demonstrated that the self-ignition temperature of the test item is 198°C. After the experiment, the test item had turned into a black charred residue. It indicated that the test item had been decomposed and/or reacted during the experiment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Conclusion: The self-ignition temperature of Disodium L-cystinate was determined using a temperature programmed laboratory oven, a stainless steel wire mesh cube, NiCr/NiAl thermocouples and a temperature recording device. The self-ignition temperature of the test item is 198°C.
