Description of key information
The flash point of diacetone alcohol goes from 42 to 63°C, depending on the acetone content of the substance.The presence of acetone leads to a decrease of the flash point.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 42 °C
Additional information
The flashpoint of Diacetone alcohol with different degrees of purity was examined in a study by Andre (2010) with Klimisch-1 reliability. The study was conducted in compliance with Method A.9. Flash Point of Commision Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, using the closed cup method.
The flash point of the different samples are :
- flash point of « flacon 1 » is 42.0°C ± 0.5°C (Analytical purity: 97.96%, acetone 1.908%)
- flash point of « flacon 4 » is 50.5°C ± 0.5°C. ( Analytical purity: 98.89% acetone 0.945%)
- flash point of « flacon 2 » is 57.0°C ± 0.5°C , (Analytical purity: 99.34% ,acetone 0.493%)
- flash point of « flacon 3 » is 63.0°C ± 0.5°C , (Analytical purity: 99.85% ,acetone 0.008%)
According to the criteria for classification and labelling set out in Regulation (EC) NO. 1272/2008.
- If the acetone content >0.945% and < 2% , the substance is classified for flammability (42°C <FP<50.5°C)
CLP: Flam liquid Cat3
- if the acetone content is approximatively 0.493% , the substance is classified for flammabilty (FP = 57°C)
CLP: Flam Liquid Cat 3
- If the acetone content is very low (approximatively 0.008%) the substance is not classified for flammability (FP = 63°C)
. In addition, the flash point of DAA (reagent grade) also was sourced from Merck Index: An Encyclopedia of Chemicals, Drugs, and Biologicals (14th Ed.), known to contain peer-reviewed data of Klimisch-2 reliability, which reported a flash point of 66°C for DAA.
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.
