Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flash point
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Non-GLP; non-guideline; Information from published handbook, data compendium, review article or other reference text; acceptable with restrictions.
- Deviations:
- not specified
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The use of secondary sources of data is acceptable when they are based on a critical evaluation of peer-reviewed data and a consequent selection of a reliable and representative value for the property under investigation. The introduction to the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics states that data for physical constants have been taken from many sources, including both compilations and the primary literature. Where conflicts were found, the value deemed most reliable was chosen. Therefore, although the method used is not known, the values presented here are acceptable as they are from a reliable secondary source of phys chem. data.
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Type of method:
- other: Not known
- Key result
- Flash point:
- 50 °C
- Atm. press.:
- ca. 101.325 kPa
- Remarks on result:
- other: Pressure assumed.
- Conclusions:
- The flash point of mesitylene (1,3,5-trimethylbenzene) was measured to be 50 °C.
- Executive summary:
No information on the methods used is available. However, this information is taken from a reliable peer reviewed handbook and is considered reliable and suitable for use as the key study for this endpoint. Most up to date source at the time. The flash point of mesitylene (1,3,5 -trimethylbenzene) was measured to be 50 °C.
Reference
No pressure reported. No further details reported.
Description of key information
The flash point of mesitylene (1,3,5-trimethylbenzene) was measured to be 50 °C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 323.2 K
Additional information
The CRC Handbook is a peer reviewed handbook and so can be considered reliable and suitable for use as the key study for this endpoint. The supporting study (ICSC 2002) is also a peer reviewed handbook and reports a flash point value of 50 °C.
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.
