Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key result
Remarks on result:
no self-ignition observed up to the melting point

No exothermal reaction of the test item was observed until a maximum temperature of 402 °C. An endothermic effect (melting) in the temperature range of 35 - 70 °C was observed.

Conclusions:
No self-ignition temperature was observed until the maximum temperature of 402 °C.
Executive summary:

A study according to Regulation (EC) No 440/2208, A.16 was performed to determine the relative self-ignition temperature of the test substance. 8 cm3 (8.1 g) of the test item was placed in an oven at 15 °C; the temperature/time curve relating to conditions in the centre of the sample is recorded while the temperature of the oven is increased to 400 °C at a rate of 0.5 °C/min. No exothermal reaction of the test item was observed until a maximum temperature of 402 °C. An endothermic effect (melting) in the temperature range of 35 - 70 °C was observed. Thus, the test item has no relative self-ignition temperature up to the melting point.

Description of key information

No self-ignition temperature was observed until the maximum temperature of 402 °C (reference 4.12 -1).
