In the main test the lowest temperature where an ignition was observed was 136.0°C.
The mean measured flash point is corrected to the ambient pressure to be 137.47°C.
The resulting average corrected flash point rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.5°C is 137.0°C.
Description of key information
For this endpoint one experimental study is available. The flash point was determined according to EC method A.9, in closed cup using a Pensky-Martens apparatus. The flash point was found to be 137.0°C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 137 °C
