The autoignition temperature and composition of 15 carbon‐filled fluoroelastomers have been determined. These experimental data and three sets of literature data are used to examine the relationship between autoignition temperature and rubber composition. The autoignition temperature at an elevated oxygen pressure is strongly affected by the carbon black content in rubbers. An empirical equation is derived and can be used to predict the autoignition temperature of carbon‐filled fluoroelastomers based on the carbon black content.
