rayon cotton? organic cotton? ekowool? and other materials?
I mean temperature that if reached the material will burn

I don't have figures handy, but if you're trying to set the numbers on a TC mod, forget it. So long as the wick is wet, it will not exceed the vaporization temperature of the juice you're vaping. Set the temp where it tastes good and don't worry about it much. In general, from highest to lowest, Porcelain, Silica/EkoWool, Rayon, Cotton.
It's hard to say what specific wicking temps will be, there are to many variables which will affect temperatures.
Wet or dry?
Hold a flame to a cotton shirt and it will scorch almost instantly. Soak the shirt in water first and you can hold the flame to it for close to a minute without doing any damage.

Temperature provides heat for combustion. It doesn't matter how that temperature is created. A 1,000 degree coil will cause any organic fiber wicking material to instantly burst into flames, no spark or flame required.
Skip to the 2 minute mark and watch....
see that's why I want to know the exact temperature at which dry, different wicking materials would burst into flames just by being heated to a specific temperature at atmospheric pressure known as autoignition temperature.
so when I use T.C I can kinda work around this issue
I already know the cotton burst into flames at temp around 420 F and silica/ekowool burst into flames at higher temperature..... but how much higher?

Silica can be depending on grade 1200F lowest grade to 1500F highest grade, Ekowool is between 1500 to 1800, simple google search there.
Cotton about 420 to 450F, Hemp and Bamboo about the same

But why would you use DRY wick as your baseline? Do you ever intend to try to vape a 100% dry wick?
You can do what you want but I'll tell you right now what you'll get. An anemic vape. It's going to be weak because you're not running the temps anywhere near hot enough. The wick isn't dry, it should be soaking wet, so the temperature can easily be 50F or more hotter without burning the wick.
Let me put it to you this way. Even with the severely restricted airflow of the Aspire Nautilus I run the temperature sensing coils at 460F with no burnt wick whatsoever.
In fact, I've been using the same coil in that tank for over a month at that setting without a single dry or burnt tasting hit. Not one. And yes, that's a cotton wick.
In my Starre which also has TC coils with cotton wicks I've run it as high as 510F without a problem. I prefer a cooler vape though so I normally run it at 480-490F.
Silica is not flammable.
As I understand, TC may not prevent from burning of a dry wick: it gives bump in the beginning, may be big enough bump to ignite dry cotton. But how you can have dry cotton in your tank?
I don't think I would ever intend to vape dry wicks, I am just talking bad luck or being reckless
there is no clear cut temp in which things just suddenly burst into flames... there is the ( to put it into odd terms) toast time...
its the temps when things get toasted first before it flames... well kinda like toast it goes from standard bread to a lite brown to a dark brown and then black and then flamed... even before it gets to flamed, the taste is gonna be horrid....
