Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
05 Oct 2018
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
ASTM D93 (Standard test methods for flash point by pensky-martens closed cup tester)
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
closed cup
Flash point apparatus:
Pensky-Martens apparatus
Key result
Atm. press.:
990 hPa
Remarks on result:
other: Did not flash prior to boilingat 58 °C, however, flame enlargement and a color change of the flame were observed.

 Flame enlarged and flickered with a turquoise hue and promptly extinguished upon pilot flame application. This was first observed at 22°C. Boiled at 58°C.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
MA-3 did not flash prior to boiling at 58 °C by Penksy-Martens closed cup test (EU method A.9). Flame enhancement was observed.
Executive summary:

No flash-point could be determined using the Pensky-Martens closed cup method. Flame enlarged and flickered with a turquoise hue and promptly extinguished upon pilot flame application at 22 °C. The study was conducted in accordance with EU method A.9; therefore the study is considered reliable without restrictions and is suitable for Classification & Labeling and Risk Assessment.

Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
ASTM D3278 (Standard test methods for flash point of liquids by small scale closed-cup apparatus)
Deviations:
not specified
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
closed cup
Key result
Remarks on result:
no flash point according to standard method
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
MA-3 has no flash point at tested temperatures at 20 °C, 37.8 °C, and 60 °C; ASTM D-3278-96.
Executive summary:

No flash-point could be determined using the small scale closed cup method. No flammable vapour/air mixture was produced in the test vessel at 20 °C, 37.8 °C, and 60 °C at 722.92 mm Hg. The study was conducted in accordance with ASTM D3278 and was not GLP compliant; therefore the study is considered reliable with restrictions.

Description of key information

No flash-point could be determined using the Pensky-Martens closed cup method; EU method A.9. Substance boils without flashing.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

MA-3 boiled without no flash observed using the Pensky-Martens closed cup method. Therefore, no flash-point was determined. Flame enlarged and flickered with a turquoise hue and promptly extinguished upon pilot flame application at 22 °C. The study was conducted in accordance with EU method A.9; therefore the study is considered reliable without restrictions and is suitable for Classification & Labeling and Risk Assessment.

In a supporting study, no flash-point could be determined using the small scale closed cup method. No flammable vapour/air mixture was produced in the test vessel at 20 °C, 37.8 °C, and 60 °C at 722.92 mm Hg. The study was conducted in accordance with ASTM D3278 and was not GLP compliant; therefore the study is considered reliable with restrictions.
