- Executive summary:
The study was performed in order to determine the flash point of Hatcol 3178.
The flash point is a physico-chemical property which is needed for hazard assessment and safety purposes. The flash point of a volatile liquid is the lowest temperature at which it can vaporize to form an ignitable mixture in air. The test item was placed in a test vessel and heated to the test temperature in a Pensky-Martens apparatus. Ignition trials were carried out in order to ascertain whether or not the sample flashed at the test temperature.
First, a safety test was performed.
A small amount of the test item was heated in a test tube in an aluminium block with a Bunsen burner. A boiling chain was observed at 445 °C. The chain broke at 364°C. After cooling down the colour changed into yellow-brown.
Then, a pre-test and a main test with two experiments were performed using a flashpoint tester.
The flashpoint of Hatcol 3178 is stated as 259.5 ± 1.0°C (corresponding to 532.7 ± 1.0 K).
This value is the mean value of two independent determinations.
