Interpretation of results:
other: non flammable
Conclusions:
The flash point of test chemical was determined 98.6°C at 966.6hPa.
Executive summary:

The flash point determination of test substance was done as per the test guideline OECD 103. The method is closed cup method using Pensky Martin’s Flash Point Apparatus. The flashpoint of the test substance was determined to be 98.6°C at 966.6hPa. Thus, on the basis of criteria mentioned in CLP regulation, the chemical has flash point > 60°C hence the substance was considered to be not flammable.

Description of key information

On the basis of available data from study report, the flash point determination of test substance was done as per the test guideline OECD 103. The method is closed cup method using Pensky Martin’s Flash Point Apparatus. The flashpoint of the test substance was determined to be 98.6°C at 966.6hPa. Thus, on the basis of criteria mentioned in CLP regulation, the chemical has flash point > 60°C hence the substance was considered to be not flammable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
98.6 °C

Additional information

On the basis of available data from study report, the flash point determination of test substance was done as per the test guideline OECD 103. The method is closed cup method using Pensky Martin’s Flash Point Apparatus. The flashpoint of the test substance was determined to be 98.6°C at 966.6hPa.

In a supporting study from authoritative database, the flash point value of test chemical was determined to be 95°C.

Additional study from reliable source indicates the flash point value of test chemical as in the range of 61 -95°C.

Thus, on the basis of criteria mentioned in CLP regulation, the chemical has flash point > 60°C hence the substance was considered to be not flammable.
