Key result
Relative self-ignition temperature:
347 °C

- A strong exothermic effect of the test material was observed. The temperature of the test material reached 400 °C at an oven temperature of 347 °C. It demonstrated that the self-ignition temperature of the test material is 347 °C.

- Two other exothermic effects of the test material were observed at an oven temperature of 371 and 390 °C, respectively. During these effects the test material reached a temperature of 454 and 443 °C.

- After the experiment, the test material had turned into a charred residue. It indicated that the test material had decomposed and/or reacted during the experiment.

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, the self-ignition temperature of the test material is 347 °C.
Executive summary:

The self-ignition temperature of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guideline EU Method A.16, under GLP conditions.

The self-ignition temperature of the test material was determined using a temperature programmed laboratory oven, a stainless steel wire mesh cube, NiCr/NiAl thermocouples and a temperature recording device.

Under the conditions of this study, the self-ignition temperature of the test material is 347 °C.

Description of key information
