Description of key information
Following an analogue read-across approach the auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 454 °C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
- 385 °C
Additional information
The test item is a mixture of methanol and methyl acetate. Because values for the auto-ignition temperature of the single components are available but not for the mixture, an analogue read-across approach was used.
The auto-ignition temperature of methanol was determined to be 464 °C.
The auto-ignition temperature of methyl acetate is reported with 454 °C.
Both values are taken from peer reviewed handbooks and so can be considered as reliable. Based on an analogue read-across approach the lowest auto-ignition temperature of the two components was regarded as worst case. Consequently, an auto-ignition temperature of 454 °C was chosen as key value for further chemical safety assessment purposes.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
