Reference
Endpoint:
relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
From September 28, 2001 to October 05, 2001
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.16 (Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Relative self-ignition temperature:
390 °C
Remarks on result:
other: The temperature of the test substance exceeded 400°C at a corresponding oven temperature of 390°C and lead to a maximum temperature of 411°C.

An exothermal reaction of the test substance occured at a temperature of 260°C and lead to 377°C. After this peak the temperature of the test substance was permanent over the oven temperature until the maximum temperature of 411°C. The temperature of the test substance exceeded 400°C at a corresponding oven temperature of 390°C and lead to a maximum temperature of 411°C.

Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the relative self-ignition temperature of the test substance was determined to be 390°C.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the self-ignition temperature of the test substance according EU Method A.16, in compliance with GLP.

The determination of the relative self-ignition temperature was carried out by placing 8 cm3 (3.8 g) of the test substance in an oven at 25°C. The temperature of the oven at which the test substance temperature reaches 400°C by self-heating was recorded while the temperature of the oven was increased to 400°C at a rate of 0.5°C/min.

No self-ignition was noted up to decomposition at 90°C. An exothermal reaction of the test substance occured at a temperature of 260°C and led to 377°C. After this peak, the temperature of the test substance was permanent over the oven temperature until 390°C, at which the temperature of the test substance exceeded 400°C and led to a maximum temperature of 411°C.

Under the study conditions, the relative self-ignition temperature was determined to be 390°C.

Description of key information

Under the study conditions, the relative self-ignition temperature of the test substance was determined to be 390°C.
