Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flash point, other
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- December 07, 2017
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- ASTM D93 (Standard test methods for flash point by pensky-martens closed cup tester)
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Type of method:
- closed cup
- Flash point apparatus:
- Pensky-Martens apparatus
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- - Expiration date of the lot/batch: April 26th 2018
- Purity test date: 26 October 2017 - Key result
- Flash point:
- ca. 95 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: Atmospheric pressure not provided
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- 2-Butoxyethyl methacrylate was found to have a flash point of 95 °C. The registered substance does not require classification as a flammable liquid as this value is greater than the threshold criteria of 60 °C (CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008).
- Executive summary:
An experiment for flash point of liquids was performed according to ASTM D93 (Standard Test Methods for Flash Point by Pensky-Martens Closed Cup Tester) for 2-butoxyethyl methacrylate. A recording was made of the temperature at which a flash was first observed following insertion of a test flame into the cup vapour space. This temperature is regarded as the flash point. The test was performed in triplicate. In conclusion, the Pensky-Martens Closed Cup flash point of 2 -butoxyethyl methacrylate was determined to be 95 °C. As this value is in excess of the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 Category 3 criteria for flammable liquids (≥23 °C and ≤60 °C), the registered substance cannot be considered a flammable liquid.
Reference
Description of key information
A flash point of 95 °C was found for 2-butoxyethyl methacrylate, confirming that the registered substance is not a flammable liquid under CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 95 °C
Additional information
A Klimisch score of 1 (reliable without restriction) has been assigned to the endpoint conclusion, which was obtained from a key study undertaken according to ASTM D93 (Standard Test Methods for Flash Point by Pensky-Martens Closed Cup Tester) without deviation. The endpoint can be regarded as a key value that is suitable for regulatory purpose.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
