Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key result
Flash point:
158 °C
Atm. press.:
96.8 kPa

Preliminary test:

Atmospheric pressure = 97.0 kPa

Relative humidity: about 45%

The flash point was observed between 155.0°c and 160.0°C (corrected values).

Main test:

Atmospheric pressure = 96.8 kPa

Relative humidity: about 47%

       Temperature (°C)  Flash observation
 Observed temperature (OT)  Corrected temperature with the calibration curve (CT)  Corrected to Patm (C)
 156.1 154.0  155.0 No
157.1 155.0  156.0   No
 158.1  156.0  157.0  No
 159.0  157.0  158.0  Yes

The flash point of the test item was 158.0°C +/- 1°C (corrected value).

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The flash point of the test item was 158.0°C +/- 1.0°C (corrected value).

Description of key information

The flash point of the test item was 158.0°C +/- 1.0°C (corrected value).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
158 °C

Additional information

The determination of the flash point is based on a GLP study which followed the EC A9 method.
