Conclusions:

The auto ignition of the test item was 305ºC.

Executive summary:

Auto flammability of the test item was determined following EU method A15, under GLP conditions. The determination of ignition temperature was performed by injecting small quantities of the test item measured with a syringe or pipette in an open 200 ml erlenmeyer flask that was heated in a special apparatus. The contents were observed at different temperatures until ignition occurred. The lowest temperature at which ignition occurred was considered to be the auto ignition temperature. Auto ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 305ºC.

Description of key information

Key study. Method according to EU A.15, GLP study. The auto flammability of the test item was determined to be 305ºC.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:

305 °C
