In the investigation of self-ignition in the Grewer oven for the pure test item an endothermic process was observed starting at a temperature of approx. 100 °C, which leads into an exothermic effect starting at a temperature of about 140 °C. The exothermic effect shows two peaks at a reference temperature of 195 °C and 350 °C with maximum temperatures of approx. 315 °C and 650 °C. A brownish red residue remained in the wire basket after the test.

For the test item in mixture with Kieselguhr an exothermic process was observed starting at a temperature of approx. 120 °C. The exothermic effect shows two peaks at a reference temperature of approx. 200 °C and 360 °C with maximum temperatures of approx. 295 °C and 540 °C.

Results of the Grewer oven experiment:

- pure test item: approx. 140 °C onset self-ignition (max. temperature: 315 °C first peak; 650 °C second peak; cf. figures 1, 2)

- test item in mixture with Kieselguhr (1:1): approx. 120 °C onset self-ignition (max. temperature: 295 °C first peak; 540 °C second peak; cf. figures 1, 2)

Conclusions:
The pure test item indicated self-ignition at atmospheric pressure starting at a temperature of 140 °C.
Executive summary:

The relative self-ignition temperature of the test item was determined according to

- recommendations on the TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOODS: Manual of Tests and Criteria, 6th edition, New York and Geneva, 2015: Appendix 6 Screening Procedures, Division 4.2: Substances which may be liable to spontaneous combustion,

- VDI 2263 (1990), sheet 1, Grewer oven.

The pure test item indicated self-ignition at atmospheric pressure starting at a temperature of 140 °C.
