Key result
Auto-ignition temperature:
420 °C
Atm. press.:
1 008 hPa
Remarks on result:
other: Lowest auto-ignition temperature recorded after 3 series

Preliminary experiment:

Ignition was observed at 431°C.

Main experiment:

3 measurements were performed, which are tabulated below:

Main test series Lowest temperature of ignition (°C) Highest temperature without an ignition (°C) Atmospheric pressure (hPa)
1 424 419 1006.8 - 1007.4
2 428 423 1007.5 - 1009.2
2 423 419 1006.3 - 1014.2

The lowest auto-ignition temperature was 423°C.

Conclusions:
The auto-ignition temperature of the test substance is 420°C.
Executive summary:

The auto-ignition temperature according to EC Method A.15 (EC No. 440/2008) rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 °C was determined as 420 °C.

Description of key information

For this endpoint there is one study available in which the auto-ignition temperature was determined according to EC Method A.15. The lowest auto-ignition temperature was found to be 420°C.
