Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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, other
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- data from handbook or collection of data
- Remarks:
- Data comes from peer-reviewed handbooks cited among "reference books containing peer-reviewed physico-chemical data" in the ECHA guidance document on information requirements and chemical safety assessment (R.7a).
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- reference to same study
- Qualifier:
- no guideline available
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- no data
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Type of method:
- closed cup
- Flash point:
- 127 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: Atmospheric pressure not specified
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Catechol presents a flash point value of 127°C. Knowing the melting point of catechol (105 °C based on reference peer-reviewed handbooks), the value above mentioned may have been obtained on the molten solid.
- Executive summary:
Several peer-reviewed handbooks report a flash point value of 127°C for catechol. Knowing the melting point of catechol (105 °C based on reference peer-reviewed handbooks), the value above mentioned may have been obtained on the molten solid.
Reference
Knowing the melting point of catechol (105 °C based on reference peer-reviewed handbooks), the value above mentioned may have been obtained on the molten solid.
Description of key information
Flash point range: 127 and 127.2°C (closed cup)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 127 °C
Additional information
Reference peer-reviewed handbooks and a publication give consistent flash point values. Knowing the melting point of catechol (105 °C based on reference handbooks), the values reported may have been obtained on the molten solid.
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.
