Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

An exothermic reaction started at an oven temperature of about 274°C. The test substance temperature increased to 319°C (by self-heating) at an oven temperature of 273°C.

According to the guideline, the test substance is self-ignitable when the temperature of the sample reaches 400°C (by self-heating) before the oven temperature is 400°C. This exothermic effect is probably due to decomposition but is of no relevance for the self-ignition study.

The test substance showed a second exothermic reaction starting at an oven temperature of about 340°C. The test substance temperature increased to >400°C (reaching a maximum of 418°C) at an oven temperature of 341°C. This temperature (341°C) was therefore taken to be the self-ignition temperature for the test substance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test substance is self-ignitable at 341°C.
