Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

+: Positive response (flame, blast er deflagration)

-: Negative response (nothing or smoke only in a delay of 300 seconds)

 

The lowest temperature giving a positive effect was 304 °C. The injected volume was 100 µl. The ignition delay was 60 s. At a temperature of 299 °C no ignition was observed. Therefore, after rounding-off to the next lower multiple of 5 °C the auto-ignition temperature of Ethyl Safranate is 300±10°C.

Conclusions:
Auto-Ignition temperature of test item was determined according to EU A15 method and DIN 51794 method.
Auto-Ignition temperature of test item was determined to be 300±10°C (the injected volume was 100 µl, the ignition delay was 60 s).
Executive summary:

Auto-Ignition temperature of test item was determined according to EU A15 method and DIN 51794 method.
Auto-Ignition temperature of test item was determined to be 300±10°C (the injected volume was 100 µl, the ignition delay was 60 s).

Description of key information

Auto-Ignition temperature of test item was determined to be 300±10°C (the injected volume was 100 µl, the ignition delay was 60 s).


No particular hazard is anticipated in normal conditions of storage.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
300 °C

Additional information

A reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized EC method is available. It is considered as a key study.


This parameter is not relevant for classification, however the information is useful regarding process safety and potential additional fire hazard.
