Materials and methods
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The respective substance/air mixture was produced by saturation of air with substance at the specific temperature. As explosion vessel a glass vessel with a specific stirrer construction was used which guaranteed a fast equilibration of the substance concentrations between liquid and gas phase. Ignition was induced by a high voltage ignition source (ignition energy ca. 10 Joule) in the gas phase (vol ca. 0.51) in presence of the substance liquid phase.
Lower and upper explosion point (extreme temperatures of explosion window) were determined by variation of the temperature. Using the temperature/vapour pressure curve the explosion limits in Vol% were calculated from the experimentally determined explosion points (in °C).

Applicant's summary and conclusion
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.
