Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Specific details on test material used for the study:
SOURCE OF TEST MATERIAL
- Appearance/physical state: amber coloured liquid
- Batch No.of test material: AN-0400-113
- Expiration date of the lot/batch: 01 January 2019
- Purity: 100%

STABILITY AND STORAGE CONDITIONS OF TEST MATERIAL
- Storage condition of test material: Approximately -20°C under nitrogen, in the dark


TREATMENT OF TEST MATERIAL PRIOR TO TESTING
- Treatment of test material prior to testing: tested as received
Key result
Auto-ignition temperature:
ca. 260 °C
Atm. press.:
>= 101.3 - <= 101.6 kPa
Conclusions:
The auto-flammability of the test substance, Terpenes and Terpenoids, turpentine oil, limonene fraction, polymers with 1-methyl-4-(1-methylethenyl)cyclohexene and turpentine oil ß-pinene fraction terpenes, was determined to be 260 ± 5°C at an atmospheric pressure of 101.3-101.6 kPa.
Executive summary:

The auto-flammability of the test substance, Terpenes and Terpenoids, turpentine oil, limonene fraction, polymers with 1-methyl-4 -(1 -methylethenyl)cyclohexene and turpentine oil ß-pinene fraction terpenes, was determined in a process compatible with Method A.15 Auto-Ignition Temperature (Liquids and Gases) of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

A carbolite flask heater was used. The test flask wsa heated in a flask heater and then aliquots of the test substance which was tested as received, was then added to the flask using the syringe. The flask was then observed for signs of ignition over a 300 -second period. The process was repeated whilst varying the sample size as necessary, until it was possible to determine the lowest temperature at which ignition if any, occurred within 300 seconds of being inserted into the flask. The flask was flushed with air between sample insertions if clean flasks were not used.

Based on the evaluation criteria, the auto-ignition temperature of the test substance was determined to be 260 ± 5°C at an atmospheric pressure 101.3 -101.6 kPa.
