Preliminary study result:

Estimated auto-ignition temperature was 460°C.

Main study result:

The result of the main study are shown in Table 2. Ignition of the test substance within 5 minutes after introduction was observed with each sample volume and with each test a minimum auto-ignition temperature was obtained. The maximum deviation between the three values was <20°C.

The lowest temperature at which ignition of the test substance occurred was 380°C. This temperature was a multiple of 5°C and therefore given as the auto-ignition temperature of the test substance.

Conclusions:
An auto-ignition temperature of 380°C at 1004.1 to 1021.1 hPa was determined for the substance in accordance with an appropriate test method and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered reliable.

Description of key information

Auto-ignition temperature [2,4,6-trimethyl-2,4,6-tris(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)cyclotrisiloxane]: 380°C at 1004.1 to 1021.1 hPa (EU Method A.15)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
380 °C

Additional information

A measured auto-ignition temperature of 380°C at 1004.1 to 1021.1 hPa was determined for the substance in accordance with EU Method A.15 and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable.
