Reference
Endpoint:
auto-ignition temperature (liquids)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
11 Jun to 25 Jun 2015
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Justification for type of information:
At standard conditions (20 °C) the test substance is solid. The melting temperature is 25.7°C, therefore determination of the auto-ignition temperature is considered valid.

Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: DIN 14522, Method S
GLP compliance:
no

Remarks

According to DIN EN 14522 the lowest value of all test series (245°C) was reduced by the deviation value based on the precision of the method (rel. 1.5% = 3.7°C). The resulting value was rounded to the next integral number (241°C).

 

At standard conditions (20 °C) the test substance is solid. The melting temperature is 25.7°C (see Wacker Final Report N-0002134136-P). Therefore the solid test substance is first heated to 65 °C and then applied as liquid for the auto-ignition test.

Conclusions:
An auto-ignition temperature of 241°C was determined in a reliable study conducted according to an appropriate test protocol.
