The lowest auto-ignition temperature was found to be 220°C, due to safety reasons this was rounded to 215°C.

Conclusions:
The test item was found to have an auto-ignition temperature of 215°C.
Executive summary:

The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was assessed according to EU Method A. 15. In a preliminary test an indicative auto-ignition temperature of 227°C was observed. In the main test, 3 test series were performed. The lowest auto-ignition temperature that was observed was 220°C, this value was rounded off to 215°C.

Description of key information

For this endpoint, one study is available in which the auto-ignition temperature was determined according to EU method A.15. The lowest auto-ignition temperature was found to be 215°C at atmospheric pressure (1011.1 hPa).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
215 °C
