The auto ignition temperature (result of determination) is the lowest value from the lowest values, rounded down to a whole multiple of 5 °C.


The lowest value of the auto ignition temperature is 430 °C.


This value was determined using 2 – 20 drops of test item at 99800 - 100600 Pa.


The test item showed auto ignition after 4 - 15 seconds.

Conclusions:
The auto-ignition temperature according to EU A.15 of the test item is 430 °C.
Executive summary:

The test item was tested for Auto-ignition in a study according to EU method A.15. An auto-ignition temperatureof 430 ± 5.0 °C was determined, this value being the mean of three independent determinations. The auto-ignition temperature according to EU A.15 of the test item is 430 °C.

Description of key information

The auto-ignition temperature according to EU A.15 of the test item is 430 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
430 °C

Additional information

The test item was tested for auto-ignition in a study according to EU method A.15. An auto-ignition temperature of 430 ± 5.0 °C was determined, this value being the mean of three independent determinations.
