Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.16 (Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Remarks on result:
no self ignition observed under the test conditions

A slight endothermic effect in the temperature range from about 230 °C to 246 °C is detected. There is no exothermic effect. The basket was empty at the end of the measurement.

Conclusions:
Macrolex Orange R does not undergo spontaneous combustion.
Executive summary:

The test was conducted according to EC test procedure A.16 'Relative self-ignition temperature for solids'.

Macrolex Orange R was placed in a wire basket with 8 mL volume in an oven at room temperature. The oven was heated up with a rate of 0.5 K/min up to 420 °C. The temperature of the center of the sample and of an inert reference sample, which was also placed in the oven, were recorded.

A slight endothermic effect in the temperature range from about 230 °C to 246 °C is detected. There is no exothermic effect. The basket was empty at the end of the measurement.

Thus, Macrolex Orange R does not undergo spontaneous combustion.

Description of key information

The test was conducted according to EC test procedure A.16 'Relative self-ignition temperature for solids'.

No exothermic effect was detected. The basket was empty at the end of the measurement. Thus, Macrolex Orange R does not undergo spontaneous combustion.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
