Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The flash point of the test item was determined to be of 135.5 ± 5.0 °C.
Executive summary:

The determination of the flash point of Aldehyde L (2,2-Dimethyl-3-lauroyloxy-propanal) was performed according to EU Method A.9 A flash point of 135.5 ± 5.0 °C was measured, this value being the mean of three independent determinations. An exact determination was not possible because of the reactivity of the test item when getting in contact with ambient oxygen.

Description of key information

The flash point of the test item was determined to be of 135.5 ± 5.0 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
