Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Executive summary:

The test was performed as stipulated in EC Test Procedure A.15 'Auto-ignition temperature (liquids and gases)' (DIN 51794 - Determining the ignition temperature of petroleum products). a small portion of the flammable substance under test was introduced into an open conical flask (Erlenmeyer flask). The flask was heated in an electric furnace and it was observed whether ignition takes place at the prevailing temperature. Finally, any vaporizable components left in the flask were blown out with air. The auto-ignition temperature was measured to be 270 °C at 994 hPa.

Description of key information

The auto-ignition temperature was measured to be 270 °C at 994 hPa. 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
270 °C
