autoignition_temperature
Activated carbon showed an auto-ignition temperature in flowing air of 452-518 u00b0C. Presence of 5% of the base ('triethylenediamine') adsorbed on the carbon reduced the auto-ignition temperature to 230-260 u00b0C.
other_experimental_properties
A new brittle form of carbon ... can be obtained with high purity. It has high resistence to corrosion, has good thermal stability and is structurally impermeable to both gases and liquids. It has a randomized structure, making it useful in ultra-high technology applications, such as crystal growing, crucibles for high-temperature use, etc. /Glassy carbon/
