Description of key information
Flash point of the test substance was determined according to EEC guideline 92/69 A9.
The flash and fire points of the registration substance were as followed at 760 mm Hg.
Closed Cup Flash Point = 109 degrees centigrade
Open Cup flash point = 151 degrees centigrade
Fire Point = 181 degrees centigrade
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 109 °C
Additional information
The flash point is the lowest temperature at which the test liquid in a closed or open test vessel and under defined conditions produces a flammable vapour/air mixture. Using the open test vessel it is also possible to determine the fire-point of petroleum products. This is the temperature of the oil at which it ignites and continues to burn for 5 seconds.
The flash point was determined according to EEC guideline 92/69 A9 using Pensky Marten Apparatus, in a closed cup and open cup test procedure by continuation of heating beyond the flash point until the oil ignites and continues to burn for 5 seconds. The flash and fire point of the registration substance were determined in duplicate according to BS6664 Part 5 (Flash point by Pensky-Martens closed tester) and BS2000 Part 35 (Flash point and fire point by Pensky Martens open tester). Duplicate determinations of the closed flash points of the standard materials n-decane and n-hexadecane had previously ensured calibration of instrumentation and standardisation methods.
The flash and fire points of the registration substance were as followed at 760 mm Hg.
Closed Cup Flash Point = 109 degrees centigrade
Open Cup flash point = 151 degrees centigrade
Fire Point = 181 degrees centigrade
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).
