Flash point apparatus:
other: NPV 310, Normalab
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Batch Nº: 17F-1069978
Key result
Flash point:
ca. 16.5 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 1 013 hPa

A preliminary test determined the approximate flash point to be 20 oC.

Corrected temperature (oC) = Uncorrected temperature (oC) + 0.25 (101.3 – measured atmospheric pressure [kPa])

The lowest observed corrected ignition temperature was 17.1 oC, and 0.5 oC was subtracted to give a corrected flash point of 16.6 oC. The resulting values was rounded to the nearest 0.5 oC to give a flash point of 16.5 oC.

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (highly flammable liquids) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test was carried out according to EC method A.9 and ISO 3679:2015. The flash point of the test item was determined to be 16.5 ºC at standard pressure of 1013 hPa.
Executive summary:

The test was carried out according to EC method A.9 and ISO 3679:2015. The flash point of the test item was determined to be 16.5 ºC at standard pressure of 1013 hPa.
