The auto-flammability behaviour was determined by placing the test item into a stainless steel cube and heating the environment (GC oven) from room temperature to the melting point (62 °C) of the test item.

No increase to more than 400 °C in the temperature of the sample in comparison to that of the oven could be detected, also no signs of ignition could be observed.

Conclusions:
The substance is not auto-flammable
Executive summary:

The test item should be considered as not auto-flammable.

Testing was performed up to the melting point of the solid substance (62 °C).

No increase to more than 400 °C in the temperature of the sample in comparison to that of the oven could be detected, also no signs of ignition could be observed.

Description of key information

No self-ignition at temperatures below the melting point (62°C at 1013.25 mbar) detected.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
