Results and discussion

Relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
Key result
Relative self-ignition temperature:
176 °C

Any other information on results incl. tables

The self-ignition temperature, as obtained by this method, is the minimum ambient temperature expressed in [°C] at which a certain volume of a substance ignites under defined conditions. Temperature measurement data and any heat effects observed between room temperature and 210 °C were evaluated.

If an exothermic reaction of the test item appears, the sample thermocouple shows a sharp temperature rise above the oven temperature. The temperature of the oven at which the sample reaches 400 °C by self-heating is stated as the self-ignition temperature of the test item.

The test item was a blue powder. Whilst heating the test item, an exothermic reaction /selfheating of the sample was observed. The temperature/time curve is shown as follows. On completion of the test, the test item was a grey fused solid.

 

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test item has been determined to have a relative self-ignition temperature of 176 °C.
Executive summary:

The determination was carried out using the Method A.16 Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 (as amended) of 30 May 2008.

The self-ignition temperature of Copper diformate has been determined to be 176°C.
