Based on results of the main test series, the lowest auto-ignition temperature was 317 °C. The auto-ignition temperature rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 °C was determined as 315 °C.

Conclusions:
The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 315 °C.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.15 to determine the auto-ignition temperature of the test item. A preliminary test was carried out to determine the auto-ignition temperature of the test item based on visual inspection. This temperature was used as a starting temperature in the main test. In the main test the auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 317 °C and rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 °C, the auto-ignition temperature of the test item was stated to be 315 °C.

Description of key information

The auto-ignition temperature of the the test item was determined to be 315 °C at atmospheric pressure.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
