Description of key information

The auto-ignition temperature of hexan-1-ol is 313°C at 1013 hPa.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
313 °C

Additional information

The auto-ignition temperature of 313°C at 1013 hPa was determined in accordance with ASTM E 659. The result is considered to be reliable.

It is supported by a value of 290°C, taken from a source of hazard reference data (the online International Chemical Safety Cards of WHO IPCS).

Discussion of trends in the Category of C6-24 linear and essentially-linear aliphatic alcohols:

As carbon number increases, auto-ignition temperature generally decreases. Molecular weight is higher and intermolecular forces in the substance are all higher.
