- no
- Type of method:
- non-equilibrium method closed cup
- Flash point apparatus:
- Pensky-Martens apparatus
- Key result
- Flash point:
- 210 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 102.3 kPa
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- A flash point value of 210°C at standard pressure was determined for the substance using a relevant test method. The result is considered to be reliable.
- Executive summary:
Docosan-1 -ol was determined according ASTM D 93. The Flash point was determined to be 210°C at atmospheric pressure.

Measurement parameters
Rotation Speed of the Sample Stirrer:100 rpm
Expected Flash Point of Sample: 227.0°C
Measurement
(repeat determination)
Temperature of Initial Ignition Source Application:170.0°C / 170.0°C
Atmospheric Pressure:102.8 kPa / 102.3 kPa
Flash Point (Uncorrected):179.4°C / 176.7°C
Flash Point (Corrected):179.0°C / 176.5°C
Description of key information
The flash point of docosan-1-ol is 210°C at 1013 hPa.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 210 °C
Additional information
A flash point of 210°C at 1013 hPa was determined for docosan-1-ol using a non-equilibrium closed-cup method in accordance with ASTM-D93. The result is considered to be reliable.
A flash point value of 210°C indicates that docosan-1-ol should not be classified for flammability in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
Discussion of trends in the Category of C6-24 linear and essentially-linear aliphatic alcohols:
The flash point of Category substances follow a predictable trend of increasing flash point temperature with increasing chain length together with increasing boiling point and decreasing vapour pressure.
