Reference
Description of key information
- 154°C (closed cup; Shell, 2014)
Supporting information:
- 165°C (only indicative value since method unknown; Lange's Handbook of Chemistry, 1999)
- >149°C (data from safety data sheet, method unknown)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 154 °C
Additional information
The flashpoint of the substance Octadecane has been determined to be 154°C (arithmetic mean of sevenfold determination), using the closed cup non-equilibrium method ASTM D93 (procedure B).
The result is on the one hand in line with literature data (165°C acc. to Lange`s Handbook of Chemistry) and on the other hand, with a value derived from a safety data sheet (>149°C). However, these two values should be considered only as indicative because the used methods were unknown.
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
