Preliminary test

The estimated auto-ignition temperature was 380°C.

 

Main study

Ignition of the test item within 5 minutes after introduction was observed with each sample volume and with each test a minimum auto-ignition temperature was obtained. The maximum deviation between the three values was < 20°C. According to the guidelines, no further testing was required.

The lowest temperature at which ignition of the test item occurred was 363°C. This temperature was rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5°C giving an auto-ignition temperature of the test item of 360°C.

Conclusions:
The test item is auto-ignitable with an auto-ignition temperature of 360°C at 1008.2 – 1015.5 hPa.
Executive summary:

The purpose of the study was to determine the physico-chemical properties for MLA-3202.

 

The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined using a commercially available auto-ignition temperature apparatus, in accordance with the following guidelines:

European Community (EC), EC no. 440/2008, Part A: Methods for the Determination of Physico-Chemical Properties, Guideline A.15: “Auto-Ignition Temperature (Liquids and Gases)”, Official Journal of the European Union no. L142, May 31, 2008.

International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), IEC standard 79-4: "Electrical Apparatus for Explosive Gas Atmospheres, Part 4, Method of Test for Ignition Temperature", 1975.

 

The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined using a commercially available auto-ignition temperature apparatus (Chilworth Technology, Southampton, UK). The method is applicable to test items with an auto-ignition temperature in the range 75°C – 650°C.

In every ignition test, liquefied test item was introduced into a preheated test vessel using a volumetric pipette. It was observed visually whether a reaction (clearly perceptible flame and/or explosion) of the sample within five minutes after introduction took place at the prevailing temperature. After each ignition test, any vaporizable components left in the flask were blown out with air (Air Products, Amsterdam, The Netherlands).

 

Starting at 200°C, for every 20°C temperature rise, 70 μL test item was introduced into the test vessel until ignition of the test item was first observed (i.e. at 380°C).

Starting at 390°C, for every 5°C decrease, 70 μL test item was tested until no ignition of the test item had been observed. The temperature at which ignition was last observed is the estimated auto-ignition temperature.

 

Main study

Three tests were performed. The sample volumes applied and temperature range of each test are given below. Starting at the “high temperature”, for every 2°C decrease, the prevailing volume of test item was tested until no ignition of the test item had been observed. The temperature at which ignition was last observed is the auto-ignition temperature at the sample volume applied. This procedure was repeated with the other volumes until a minimum auto-ignition temperature for each test was obtained. With these results the auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined.

The atmospheric pressure during the performance of the main study was between 1008.2 and 1015.5 hPa.

 

The estimated auto-ignition temperature was 380°C.

Ignition of the test item within 5 minutes after introduction was observed with each sample volume and with each test a minimum auto-ignition temperature was obtained. The maximum deviation between the three values was < 20°C. According to the guidelines, no further testing was required.

The lowest temperature at which ignition of the test item occurred was 363°C. This temperature was rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5°C giving an auto-ignition temperature of the test item of 360°C.

 

Commercially available auto-ignition temperature apparatus was used for the determination of the degree of auto-ignitability of MLA-3202.

The test item is auto-ignitable with an auto-ignition temperature of 360°C at 1008.2 – 1015.5 hPa.
