Storage: At room temperature at about 20 °C in a desiccator.

Relative self-ignition temperature:

295 °C

Remarks on result:

other: No data on pressure available in study report.

Conclusions:

The auto-flammability temperature of FAT 40826/A is 295 °C.

Executive summary:

In a GLP-compliant study, the determination of the relative self-ignition temperature of the test item was performed according to the EU method A. 16. Applying a linear increase in temperature of about 0.5 °C/min, FAT 40826/A showed an exothermic reaction starting at about 290 °C. A maximum temperature of 573 °C was measured in the sample cube during the exothermic reaction. At the end of the measurement, the test item was carbonized. FAT 40826/A shows a relative self-ignition temperature at about 295 °C. In conclusion, FAT 40826/A is auto-flammable under the conditions of the test.
