  • Substances that spontaneously ignite in a normal atmosphere at naturally ambient temperatures are termed pyrophoric.
  • The autoignition temperature is also known as the kindling point.
  • The kindling point of a substance is the lowest temperature in which it spontaneously ignites in a normal atmosphere without an external source of ignition, such as a flame or spark. 

Autoignition temperature of some substances:

  • Diesel - 210 °C
  • Ethanol - 363 °C
