Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Executive summary:

The HSDB database provides, as secondary source, physico-chemical data on the substance.

The Auto-Ignition temperature, cited from the Sax's handbook, is 275°C.

Description of key information

(from handbooks)

No particular hazard is anticipated in normal conditions of storage.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
275 °C

Additional information

Three literature sources provide consistent values, between 275 and 280°C. The average result of the two references considered as reliable (CRC and HSDB give both 275°C) is retained as key data.

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