- Interpretation of results:
- Category 3 (flammable liquids) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Flash point (Chemsafe, Dechema) of 2-chlorotoluene: 43 °C
- Executive summary:
The flash point of 2-chlorotoluene is reported in the Chemsafe database maintained by PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Braunschweig, Germany), BAM (Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und –prüfung, Berlin) and DECHEMA (Frankfurt am Main, Germany). Data from PTB (Braunschweig) and BAM (Berlin) must be regarded as reliable chemical safety data. The data set on flash point for 2-chlorotoluene is marked as "recommended" and verified in terms of reliability and data quality. Information on data origin is made available (data on vapour pressure from Oct. 1989). Accordingly, the data are reliable.
Flash point (Chemsafe, Dechema; closed cup method) of 2-chlorotoluene: 43 °C
Based on this data, the substance is classified according to EU-GHS as a flammable liquid category 3.
