Executive summary:

The HSDB database provides, as secondary source, physico-chemical data on the substance.

The Auto-Ignition temperature, cited from the Sax's handbook, is 275°C.

Description of key information

(from handbooks)

No particular hazard is anticipated in normal conditions of storage.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
275 °C

Additional information

Three literature sources provide consistent values, between 275 and 280°C. The average result of the two references considered as reliable (CRC and HSDB give both 275°C) is retained as key data.

This parameter is not relevant for classification, however the information is useful regarding process safety and potential additional fire hazard.
