Key result
Remarks on result:
no flash point according to standard method

Starting from 190 °C at each attempt to ignite the vapour of the test item the evolving vapour burned directly at the filament, but no flash point was found. The flame extinguished again. From 300 °C forth the flame did not extinguish and the complete test cup burned but a flash point was not indicated. At that point the experiment was stopped due to safety precautions. At the end of the experiment the colour and consistency of the test item had changed. In a repeated experiment this result was confirmed.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No flash point was observed in the course of the study.
