Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

- no self-ignition observed up to the melting point
- Conclusions:
- No ignition was detected below the melting point.
- Executive summary:
No ignition was detected below the melting point in a study performed in accordance with the UN N.4 Bowes-Cameron-Cage test and in compliance with GLP.
Reference
According to UN-Bowes-Cameron-Cage-test (UN-Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Chapter 14, Nr. 14.3 4) "observations are made to determine if spontaneous ignition occurs or if the temperature of the sample exceeds 200 °C. Further, "If negative "results are obtained no further test is necessary". The temperature/time data for the thermocouple placed at the center of the sample and the thermocouple placed next to the sample. Clearly, in both cases, the recorded temperatures did not reach or exceed 200 °C during the experimental time period. There were no obvious signs of spontaneous ignition, i.e., charred and blackened residues were not observed within the sample cage. No further testing was performed.

Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
