Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Results and discussion

Flash point
Key result
Flash point:
106.5 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 101.3 kPa

Any other information on results incl. tables

The result of the pre-test (anticipated flash point, not to ISO 2719): 106.0°C


The results of the main tests are:
First determination: Flash point, corrected for atmospheric pressure: 107.0°C
Second determination: Flash point, corrected for atmospheric pressure: 106.0°C


As the results of the two determinations were in agreement within the requirement (the results do not differ by more than 2.0 °C), a third determination wasn't needed.
The results of the two tests were averaged and rounded off to the nearest 0.5°C to obtain the final flash point value:
Flash point of 2-methyl-3-(p-tolyl)propionaldehyde: 106.5°C

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Executive summary:

The flash point of 2-methyl-3-(p-tolyl)propionaldehyde was determined by the Pensky-Martens method according to ISO 2719.
The result is: 106.5 °c
