Atm. press.:
998.7 - 1 003.1 hPa

Any other information on results incl. tables

Ignition of the test substance within 5 minutes after introduction was observed with each sample volume and during each test a minimum auto-ignition temperature was obtained. The maximum deviation between the three values was 20°C. According to the guidelines, no further testing was required.

The lowest temperature at which ignition of the test substance occurred was 375°C, which is also the auto-ignition temperature if rounded down to the nearest 5°C inaccordance with DIN 51794.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
A commercially available auto-ignition temperature apparatus was used for the determination of the degree of auto-ignitability of Corsair Clear #12. The test substance is auto-ignitable with an auto-ignition temperature of 375°C at 998.7 - 1003.1 hPa.
