Results

Preliminary Test

An approximate value of the ignition temperature of the test item was firstly determined by the preliminary test. Table 1gives the result of the preliminary test. An ignition is denoted as "+" and no ignition is denoted as "-". 5 drops were put into the Erlenmeyer flask at each temperature.

Regulation EC No. 440/2008 method A.15. and DN 51794: The auto-ignition temperature rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 °C was determined as 420 °C.

Description of key information

Auto-ignition temperature = 420 °C at 1013.8 hPa (A.15., DIN 51794)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
420 °C

Additional information

The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined according to EU Method A.15., DIN 51794.
