- Ambient temperature: 29 °C
- Ambient pressure: 100.7 kPa
Reference
Description of key information
The flash point of lactic acid (CAS 50-21-5) was determined by method EN ISO 3679. For ignition a natural gas flame was used. No ignition was observed visually. Thus, no flashpoint could be determined for the test item.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
