Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

No ignition was seen at 246 degrees C when tested at volumes of 400 to 1200 ul, and observed for 300 seconds, but greay fumes were emitted.

Conclusions:
The test item was determined to have an auto-ignition temperature of 248 +/- 5 degrees C. 
Executive summary:

The auto-ignition temperature was determined by heating aliquots of the test item in a flask, and observing for any ignition. Testing was conducted by a method designed to be compatible with Method A15 “Auto-ignition Temperature Liquids and Gases) of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 of 30 May, 2008. The test item was determined to have an auto-ignition temperature of 248 +/- 5 degrees C.
