Autoignition 5
Autoignition 5 : The autoignition temperature of a substance is the temperature at or above which a material willspontaneously ignite (catch fire) without an external spark or flame. Additional Info: The equipment for determining an autoignition temperature is very similar to that used for flash pointdeterminations. MSDS Relevance: Storing a substance anywhere near its autoignition temperature is a severe safety hazard. Be careful storing substances in hot areas such as (1) sheds or cabinets exposed to direct sunlight, (2) adjacent to furnaces, hot water heaters or boilers or (3) places where flames or heat are often used. Knowing a substance's autoignition temperature is also very useful in the event of a fire. See also: Combustible, Flash Point
