Interpretation of results:
other: non flammable
Conclusions:
The mean flash point of test chemical was determined to be 166.6°C at 976.5 hPa
Executive summary:

The flash point determination of test chemical was done following closed cup method using Pensky-Martens flash point apparatus. The test was conducted in replicates and mean flash point was determined to be 166.6°C at 976.5 hPa. Based on criteria mentioned in CLP regulation, the chemical has flash point greater than 60 degree C hence the substance was considered to be not flammable.

Description of key information

Based on the available data from experimental study report, the flash point determination of test chemical was done following closed cup method using Pensky-Martens flash point apparatus. The test was conducted in replicates and mean flash point was determined to be 166.6°C at 976.5 hPa. Based on criteria mentioned in CLP regulation, the chemical has flash point greater than 60 degree C hence the substance was considered to be not flammable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
166.6 °C
