Key result
Relative self-ignition temperature:
ca. 190 °C

In the investigation of self-ignition in the Grewer Oven for the pure test item first a small endothermic effect could be observed at a temperature of 140 °C which results into an exothermic effect at approx. 190 °C. This effect leads to a temperature increase up to 550 °C (corresponding temperature of the reference material 227 °C). A black residue remained in the wire basket after the test.


For the test item in mixture with Kieselguhr a weak exothermic effect could be observed starting at a temperature of approx. 180 °C which led to a temperature increase up to 310 °C (corresponding temperature of the reference material 290 °C). A grey residue remained in the wire basket after the test.

Conclusions:
The pure test item indicated a self-ignition at atmospheric pressure starting at a temperature of approx. 190 °C.
Executive summary:

A study according to UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Devision 6.2 and VDI 2263, sheet 1 was performed to investigate the relative self-ignition of the test item. The test item was filled in a small wire basket of a volume of 8 cm3 and this wire-basket was placed into the oven. The temperature of the oven was increased with a constant heating rate (1.2 K/min) in an air stream of 100 to 120 L per hour and tho temperature of the sample was recorded as a function of time at intervals of 10 seconds. The self-ignition behavior of the pure test item was indicated as a deviation between sample temperature and reference temperature.
