Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
From June 14, 1999 to June 15, 1999
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.16 (Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Relative self-ignition temperature:
252 °C

An exothermic reaction of the test substance occurred at a temperature of about 160°C and led to 413°C. After this, the temperature of the test substance exceeded 400°C at the oven temperature of 252°C. So the relative self-ignition temperature was found to be 252°C.

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study, the relative self ignition temperature of the test substance was found to be 252°C.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the auto flammability of the test substance according to EU Method A.16, in compliance with GLP.

8 cm3(4.3 g) of the test substance was placed in an oven at 25°C. The temperature/time curve relating to conditions in the centre of the sample was recorded while the temperature of the oven was increased to 400°C at a rate of 0.5°C/min. An exothermic reaction of the test substance occurred at a temperature of about 160°C and led to 413°C. After this, the temperature of the test substance exceeded 400°C at the oven temperature of 252°C. So the relative self-ignition temperature was 252°C.

Under the conditions of the study, the relative self ignition temperature of the test substance was found to be 252°C.

Description of key information

The relative self-ignition temperature of the test substance  was found to be 252°C (Smeykal, 1999).
