Reference
Endpoint:
auto-ignition temperature (liquids)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
March 1999
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with national standard methods
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
DIN 51794 (Testing of mineral oil hydrocarbons - Determination of ignition temperature)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The test for the determination of the auto flammability was preformed according to DIN 51794.
1) Apparatus:
Heating oven with erlmeyer flask according to DIN 51794
2) Input:
1-6 drops of the testing substance (Eppendorf 100 µL with glas top)
3) Performance:
According to DIN 51794, but with several deviations:
- the tests were preformed by increasing temprature starting with 50°C up to 600 °C
- installation of a second temperature sensore, which improves the temperature determination
- in the range of the lowest ignition temperature several ignition test are preformed until the lowest ignition temperature is determined to accurate
5°C and under which value at least 3 ignition tests in 5°C-steps do not lead to ignition.
GLP compliance:
not specified
Key result
Auto-ignition temperature:
285 °C
Atm. press.:
101 325 Pa
Remarks on result:
other: No infromation on pressure reported.
Conclusions:
Auto flammabilty of Dihydrolipic Acid: 285 °C
Executive summary:

A test for the determination of the auto flammability of Dihydrolipoic Acid was performed according to DIN 51794. The result was that the auto flammability of Dihydrolipoic Acid occurs at 285 °C.
