Results and discussion

Flash point
Key result
Flash point:
ca. 240 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 1 017 mBar

Any other information on results incl. tables

The barometric pressure at the time of testing was 1017 mbar.

In duplicate determinations, the observed flash points of RM1004951 were determined to be 240°C and 240°C. No pressure correction was required, therefore the flash point was found to be 240°C.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
