Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Key result
Auto-ignition temperature:
320 °C
Atm. press.:
1 014.3 - 1 022 hPa

Preliminary result:

The estimated auto-ignition temperature was 350°C.

Main study:

The results of the main study on the determination of the auto-ignition temperature of the test item are given in Table 1.

Ignition of the test item within 5 minutes after introduction was observed with each sample volume and with 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. No minimum auto-ignition temperature as a function of injection volume was observed up to the maximum injection volume of 1000 μl.

The lowest temperature at which ignition of the test item occurred was 324°C. This temperature was a multiple of 5°C and is therefore given as the auto-ignition temperature of the test item.
