Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Flash point: 7.7°C at 1013 hPa (ASTM D 3828-87)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 7.7 °C
Additional information
Two reliable measured flash point studies are available for the submission substance. Those known to have been conducted according to international or national standard methods are considered to be reliable, even where no further information about the studies is available.
A measured flash point value of 7.7°C at 1013 hPa was determined for the substance using a rapid equilibrium method according to ASTM D3828 -87 Test Method but not in compliance with GLP (Dow Corning Corporation 1999). The result is considered to be reliable and is selected as key study.
In Southwest Research Institution 2000, a flash point value of 10°C at 1013 hPa was determined for the substance using a closed cup method (tag apparatus) according to ASTM D56.
The key study was selected as the study with the lowest result from available reliable studies using a conservative approach.
In other available secondary sources to which reliability cannot be assigned, flash point values within the range 0 - 11.5°C at 1013 hPa were reported for the substance.
A measured flash point of 7.7°C at 1013 hPa and a measured boiling point of 102°C at 1013 hPa indicate that the substance should be classified as a flammable liquid according to the criteria of Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
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.
