Room temperature: 20 °C
Atmospheric pressure: 101.75 to 101.81 kPa

Conclusions:
The auto-ignition temperature of the test material was determined to be 394 ± 5 °C.
Executive summary:

The auto-ignition temperature of the test material was determined in a GLP compliant study performed to EU method A.15. The test material was found to have an auto-ignition temperature of 394 ± 5 °C.

Description of key information

The auto-ignition temperature of the test material was determined in a GLP compliant study performed to EU method A.15. The test material was found to have an auto-ignition temperature of 394 ± 5 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
394 °C

Additional information

Atwal et al (2010), the key study for the determination of the auto-ignition temperature of the test material was performed to EU method A.15 in compliance with GLP.

A reliability rating of 1 was assigned to this study, according to the criteria of Klimisch, 1997.
