Reference
Preliminary test:
The flash point that was observed is 106°C.
Main test:
Three replicate measurements were performed. The flashpoint temperature was corrected to atmospheric pressure 101.3 kPa.
| Replicate | Flash point (°C) | Pressure (kPa) | corrected temperature (°C) |
| 1 | 108.0 | 99.58 | 108.4 |
| 2 | 107.0 | 99.58 | 107.4 |
| 3 | 107.0 | 99.58 | 107.4 |
| Mean | 107 | 99.58 | 107.8 |
Description of key information
There is one study available in which the flash point of the test item was assessed experimentally according to EU Method A.9, closed cup method, Pensky-Martens apparatus. The test item was found to have a flash point of 107.8°C at atmospheric pressure (101 325 Pa).
According to the criteria described in CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008, liquids with a flash point > 60°C do not require classification as a flammable liquid. Hence, decyl acetate is not classified.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 107.8 °C
