Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flash point, other
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 2016
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study without detailed documentation
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- ISO 2719 (Determination of flash point - Pensky-Martens closed cup method)
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Type of method:
- closed cup
- Remarks:
- Pensky-Martens closed cup method
- Flash point apparatus:
- Pensky-Martens apparatus
- Dynamic viscosity of test material:
- 140 mPa*s
- Key result
- Flash point:
- > 139 °C
- Atm. press.:
- ca. 101 325 Pa
- Remarks on result:
- other: testing interrupted at 139°C in order to prevent the test sample from gelling
- Interpretation of results:
- other: CLP criteria not met
- Remarks:
- not classified
- Conclusions:
- Under the study conditions, testing was interrupted at 139°C in order to prevent the test sample from gelling. Therefore the flash point of the test substance was considered to be >139°C (Pensky-Martens closed cup method).
- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the flash point of the test substance using PenskyMartens closed cup method according to ISO 2719. Three flash point tests were performed on the samples. No flashing was detected in the tests up to ca.139°C when the test substance was tested in a Pensky-Martens closed cup tester. The exact flash point could not be determined since testing was interrupted at 139°C in order to prevent the test sample from gelling. Under the study conditions, the flash point of the test substance was considered to be higher than 139°C (Boutreau, 2016).
Reference
Table 1. Results for the tested samples
| Starting temperature, °C | Flash point, °C |
| 40 | No flashing up to 140°C |
| 117 | No flashing up to 139°C |
| 117 | No flashing up to 139°C |
| 117 | No flashing up to 139°C |
The testing was stopped at 139°C in order to prevent the test sample from gelling. The exact flash point could not be determined but will be higher than 139°C.
Description of key information
The flash point was determined according to ISO 2719 (PenskyMartens closed cup method) (Boutreau, 2016)
