Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Remarks:
After the experiment, the test substance had turned into a off white residue

In the test performed at 140 ± 2°C using a 10 cm sample cube, an exothermic effect of the test substance by self-heating was observed between 16-21 hours. During this effect the test substance reached a maximal temperature of 291°C. According to the guideline, the test is positive when the sample temperature exceeds the oven temperature by 60°C during 24 hour testing time. Based on this, the result is considered positive. After the experiment, the test substance had turned into a expanded black charred residue.

In the test performed at 140 ± 2°C using a 2.5 cm sample cube, no spontaneous ignition occurred and no exothermic effect of the test substance was observed during the entire test period. Therefore this test was considered negative. After the experiment, the test substance had turned into a expanded beige brown residue.

In the test performed at 120 ± 2°C using a 10 cm sample cube, no spontaneous ignition occurred and no exothermic effect of the test substance was observed during the entire test period. Therefore this test was considered negative. After the experiment, the test substance had turned into a off white residue.

Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
In a GLP-compliant study performed in accordance with UN-MTC Section 33.3.1 (Test N.4), a positive result was obtained using a 100 mm sample cube at 140°C, a negative result was obtained with a 25 mm sample cube at 140°C and a negative result is obtained with a 100 mm sample cube at 120°C. It was concluded that the test substance is considered a self-heating substance when tested in a 10 cm sample cube at 140°C.
