Description of key information
>100°C
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The flash point of glycolic acid 70% solution was determined using a method based on ASTM D 56. No flash point was found when test material was heated to 100°C. Glycolic acid 70% solution is not flammable and does not warrant any classification for flammability.
Flash point study of glycolic acid >99% has been waived as provided in the data waiver section since it is a solid.
