Evaluation

lowest value from pretest:

240°C

lowest value for first main test:

237°C

lowest value for second main test:

237°C

lowest value for retest:

237°C

 

Lowest value of all main test/retest series: 237°C.

 

Correction of the temperature according to the last DKD calibration (10/062014) of the temperature measurement chain (thermocouple + monitor) is already considered (value of -0.5°C).

 

Concluding Result

The auto-ignition temperature is 235°C (according to the assessment criteria and definition in the Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, test method A.15.

Conclusions:
An auto-ignition temperature value of 235°C at 1013 hPa was determined for the substance using a relevant test method and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable.

Description of key information

Auto-ignition temperature: 235°C at 1013 hPa (DIN 51794)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
235 °C

Additional information

An auto-ignition temperature value of 235°C at 1013 hPa was determined for the substance using a relevant test method and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable and is selected as key study.

The key study is supported by an auto-ignition temperature value of 235°C using a relevant method, but full details are not available.

In a secondary source to which reliability could not be assigned, an auto-ignition temperature value of 220°C at 1013 hPa was reported for the substance.
