other: The test was carried out up to the max. test temperature of 170 °C.

No remarks

Conclusions:

No self-ignition of Vulkanox BKF (DBMC) occurred in the temperature range up to 170 °C, hence the substance is classified to be not self-igniting.

Executive summary:

The self-ignition temperature of Vulkanox BKF (DBMC) was experimentally determined with the EC method A.16. As a result of this test, no self-ignition of Vulkanox BKF (DBMC) occurred in the temperature range up to 170 °C, hence the substance is classified to be not self-igniting.

Description of key information

In a test according to EC method A.16 it was shown that DBMC (Vulkanox BKF) is not self-igniting (Klein, Blank, 2008).
