The obtained temperature of 398 °C was rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 °C giving an auto-ignition temperature of the test substance of 395°C.

Description of key information

395 °C at 1021.1-1022.1 Pa

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
395 °C

Additional information

The self-ignition temperature of the substance was determined according to EU method A.15 and guidelines DIN 51794 and IEC 79-4.
