Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Flash point
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flash point of flammable liquids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 2008-12-08 to 2008-12-08
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: GLP guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
- Deviations:
- no
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- ISO 2719 (Determination of flash point - Pensky-Martens closed cup method)
- Version / remarks:
- 2002
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Type of method:
- equilibrium method closed cup
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- - Name of test material (as cited in study report): Dibenzyltoluene
- Substance type: product
- Physical state: liquid
- Lot/batch No.: 0845
- Expiration date of the lot/batch: 2009-10-08 at the earliest
- Storage condition of test material: in a closed vessel at room temperature (20 ± 5°C)
- Other:
Production date: 2008-10-08
Appearance: colourless to yellow, clear liquid - Key result
- Flash point:
- ca. 212 °C
- Atm. press.:
- ca. 1 013 hPa
- Conclusions:
- The flash point is given as the mean value of the duplicate determination. The measured flash point is 212 ± 1.4 °C (mean ± standard deviation).
The difference between the two values which were measured was below 2 K. For this reason, the determination was considered valid.

Findings
The results of the determinations are presented in the following table.
| Program | Flash point in °C | Mean in °C | Notes |
| SEI | 215.5 | not used for calculation | |
| ENI | 213 | 212 | difference < 2 K |
| ENI | 211 |
Result and Discussion
The flash point is given as the mean value of the duplicate determination. The measured flash point is therefore 212 ± 1.4 °C (mean ± standard deviation).
The difference between the two values which were measured was below 2 K. For this reason, the determination was considered valid.
Description of key information
The flash point of Dibenzylbenzene, ar-methyl derivative was 212 ± 1.4 °C (mean ± standard deviation).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 212 °C
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
