Reference
Endpoint:
relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
From June 30, 1999 to October 05, 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:
267 °C

An exothermic reaction of the test substance occurs at a temperature of about 152 °C and leads to 407 °C. After this, the temperature of the test substance overshot the oven temperature exceeded 400 °C at a temperature of 267 °C. So the relative self ignition temperature is 267 °C.

Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, the relative self ignition temperature of the test substance was determined to be 267 °C.
Executive summary:

A study was performed to determine self ignition temperature of test substance according to EU Method A.16.in compliance with GLP.

8 cm3(4.1 g) of the substance under test is placed in an oven at 27 °C; the temperature/time curve relating to conditions in the centre of the sample is recorded while the temperature of the oven is increased to 400 °C at a rate of 0.5°C /min.

An exotherm reaction of the test substance occurs at a temperature of about 152 °C and leads to 407 °C. After this, the temperature of the test substance overshot the oven temperature exceeded 400 °C at a temperature of 267 °C.

Under the test conditions, the relative self ignition temperature of the test substance was determined to be 267 °C.

Description of key information

The relative self ignition temperature of the test substance was determined to be 267 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
267 °C
