Self-ignition in the Grewer Oven

In the investigation of self-ignition in the Grewer Oven for the pure test item, a small endothermic effect was detected in the temperature range of 110 – 130 °C, which may be caused by the drying of the test item. A first exothermic effect was observed in the temperature range of 240 – 300 °C that led to a maximum temperature of approx. 300 °C (corresponding oven temperature 280 °C). A second exothermic effect was detected in the temperature range of 320 – 420 °C that led to a maximum temperature of approx. 510 °C (corresponding oven temperature 420 °C). After the measurement the wire basket was empty.

For the test item in mixture with Kieselguhr also a small endothermic effect was detected in the temperature range of 110 – 130 °C, which may be caused by the drying of the test item. An exothermic effect was observed, in the temperature range of 230 – 400 °C that led to a maximum temperature of approx. 500 °C (corresponding oven temperature 320 °C).

Table 1 summarizes the results of the Grewer Oven experiment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

The pure test item Leuco Sulfur Blue 15 indicated a first self-heating at atmospheric starting at a temperature of 240 °C that that led to a maximum temperature of approx. 300 °C (corresponding oven temperature 280 °C). A second exothermic effect was observed in the temperature range of 320 – 420 °C that led to a maximum temperature of approx. 510 °C (corresponding oven temperature 420 °C).

On the basis of the results of the tests on the self-ignition in the Grewer Oven the test item is classified as follows:
UN Transport Regulation: The test item has not to be classified as self-heating substance in class 4, division 4.2 according to the UN Transport Regulation.
GHS / CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008 Annex 1: 2.11: The test item has not to be classified as self-heating substance according to GHS/CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008 Annex 1: 2.11.
