Specific details on test material used for the study:
Identity: FAT 40826/A
Batch: TZ 5604 BOP 01/06
Purity: Content of organic part (Na-salt): approx. 78 %
Oligomers: 13 %
Main component: approx. 48 %
Appearance: Solid, orange powder
Expiration date: February 01, 2011
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.

Description of key information
