Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
No auto-flammability reaction of the test substance was observed with respect to the operating conditions used.
Executive summary:

8 cm3 (1.93 g) of the test substance (20 mm cube filled with test substance) were exposed to an increase of temperature at a rate of 0.5 °C/minute (exactly 0.499°C/minute) up to 400°C (exactly 420°C) in a temperature - programmed oven.

Two thermocouples (one placed at the centre of the test substance, one placed between the test substance and the oven wall) allowed the recording of the respective temperatures (oven and test substance) during the test.
