Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key result
Relative self-ignition temperature:
372 °C

The test item showed a strong endothermic effect from the start of the measurement to 200 °C. Above 280 °C the temperature of the test item showed an exothermic effect leading to a maximum temperature of 425 °C. The basket was partially emptied at the end of the test (most likely during the strong endothermic effect at the beginning of the measurement). This strong endothermic effect was most probably caused by the evaporation of the water within the test item.The temperature of the test item exceeded 400 °C at a corresponding oven temperature of 372 °C.

Conclusions:
The relative self-ignition temperature was determined to be 372 °C.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 Part A A.16 to determine the relative self-ignition temperature of the test substance. The test item showed a strong endothermic effect from the start of the measurement to 200 °C. Above 280 °C the temperature of the test item showed an exothermic effect leading to a maximum temperature of 425 °C. The basket was partially emptied at the end of the test (most likely during the strong endothermic effect at the beginning of the measurement). This strong endothermic effect was most probably caused by the evaporation of the water within the test item. The temperature of the test item exceeded 400 °C at a corresponding oven temperature of 372 °C.

Description of key information

The relative self-ignition temperature was determined to be 372 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
