Key result
Auto-ignition temperature:
225 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 1 008.9 - ca. 1 020.8 hPa

Preliminary study result:

Estimated auto-ignition temperature was 255°C.

Main study result:

The results of the main study are shown in Table 2. Ignition of the test substance within 5 minutes after introduction was observed with each sample volume and with each test a minimum auto-ignition temperature was obtained. The maximum deviation between the three values was <10°C.

The lowest temperature at which ignition of the test substance occurred was 228°C. This temperature was a multiple of 5°C and therefore given as the auto-ignition temperature of the test substance.

Conclusions:
An auto-ignition temperature of 225°C at 1008.9 – 1020.8 hPa was determined for the substance in accordance with an appropriate test method and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered reliable.

Description of key information

Auto-ignition temperature: 225°C at 1008.9 -1020.8 hPa (EU Method A.15)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
225 °C

Additional information

Two reliable auto-ignition temperature studies are available for the registered substance. An auto-ignition temperature of 225°C at 1008.9 - 1020.8 hPa was determined for the substance in accordance with EU Test Method A.15 and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable and is selected as key study. This value is supported by a measured auto-ignition temperature of 211°C at 968.7 - 973.8 hPa using DIN EN 14522.
