Description of key information

The self-ignition temperature of the test substance niobium carbide (NbC) was measured with 297 ºC.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
297 °C

Additional information

The objective of the study (in accordance to EU method A.16) was to provide information on the auto flammability of the inorganic test substance niobium carbide. A certain volume of NbC (niobium carbide) was placed in an oven at room temperature; the temperature/time curve relating to conditions in the centre of the sample was recorded while the temperature of the oven was increased to 400 ºC, at a rate of 0.5 ºC/min. The test substance NbC (niobium carbide) revealed a self-ignition temperature of 297 ºC.
