Findings

Pre-Test for Safety

A small amount of the test substance was heated in a test tube in an aluminium block with a Bunsen burner. At 87 °C a few bubbles rose up and a boiling chain was observed at approx. 116 °C. The chain broke at 114°C.

Determination of the Flash Point

The result of the determination is presented in the following table.

No flashpoint could be detected, the test substance started boiling at 98.6 °C in the test vessel.

 

Evaluation and Result

In the pre-test no flash point could be detected.

Discussion 

No flash point could be detected as the test substance start boiling at 98.6°C in the test vessel. The determination was considered valid.


 

Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, no flash point could be observed until boiling temperature of the test substance.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the flash point of the test substance, C12-14 HEDMAC (39.6% active) using closed cup method, according to the EU Method A.9 and EPA OPPTS 830.6315, in compliance with GLP. In the pre-test performed using flashpoint tester, no flash point was detected. Heating was performed up to 98.6°C. At this temperature, boiling was observed and the experiment was stopped. Under the study conditions, no flash point could be observed until boiling temperature of the test substance (Krebs, 2018).

Description of key information

The flash point of the test substance (39.6% active) was determined using close cup method, according to EU Method A.9 and EPA OPPTS 830.6315 (Krebs, 2019).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
138.26 °C
