Description of key information
Flash point [dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane]: 91°C at 776 mmHg (ASTM D93)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 91 °C
Additional information
A flash point value of 91°C at 776 mmHg was determined for the substance using a closed-cup method according to ASTM D93 Test Method. The result is considered to be reliable and is selected as key study. In the same report, a flash point value of 109°C at 755 -759 mmHg was reported for the substance using an open-cup method according to ASTM D92.
A measured flash point of 91°C at 1013 hPa and a boiling point of 245°C at 1013 hPa indicate that the substance should not be classified for flammability in accordance with 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.
