Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

The self-ignition temperature of decan-1-ol is 254°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
254 °C

Additional information

The self-ignition temperature of 254°C was determined in a reliable study.

It is supported by a value of 255°C, taken from a source of hazard reference data (the online International Chemical Safety Cards of WHO IPCS), and a value of 285°C, measured in a second reliable study.

Discussion of trends in the Category of C6-24 linear and essentially-linear aliphatic alcohols:

As carbon number increases, auto-ignition temperature generally decreases. Molecular weight is higher and intermolecular forces in the substance are all higher.
