Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key result
Auto-ignition temperature:
250 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 1 013 hPa

Ignition of the test item within 5 minutes after introduction was observed with each sample volume and with each test a minimum auto-ignition temperature was obtained (Table 2 in attached document "S-930 - Auto-Ignition Temperature.pdf"). The maximum deviation between the three values was < 10°C. According to the guidelines, no further testing was required.

The lowest temperature at which ignition of the test item occurred was 250°C. This temperature is a multiple of 5°C and therefore given as the auto-ignition temperature of the test item.

Description of key information

250°C at 1013 hPa (EU A.15)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
250 °C
