Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the auto-ignition temperature of the test substance according to ASTM Method E-659. The method was abbreviated to determine a range for the autoignition temperature of the sample. Under the study conditions, the auto-ignition temperature of the test substance was determined to be between 475 and 480°C (Herssens, 2014).

Description of key information

The auto-ignition temperature was determined according to ASTM Method E-659 method (Herssens, 2014).

Key value for chemical safety assessment
