Key result
Flash point:
135 °C
Atm. press.:
1 013.25 hPa

For the determination of the initial temperature of flash point measurement a screen test was performed with the test item. The sample was heated from 30 °C to 200 °C using 5.5 °C/min heating rate. Based on this preliminary test the flash point of the test item was determined to be: 137.3 °C.

In the course of the study three subsequent tests with the test item were carried out. The measured flash points of the test item were: 134.3 °C, 135.3 °C and 135.3 °C resulting a mean value: 135 °C at 101.3 kPa.

The repeatability criterion was met because the maximum difference between replicate determinations was not more than 2 °C.

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (highly flammable liquids) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Flash point of the test item was determined to be 135 °C at 1013.25 hPa.
Executive summary:

The purpose of the study was to determine the flash point of test item using Pensky-Martens Closed Cup non-equilibrium method according to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.9. The oven was heated with an initial temperature of 120 °C (heating rate of 2.5 °C/min). Three tests were carried out in order to determine the flash point of the test item. The mean flash point of the test item was determined to be 135 °C at 1013.25 hPa.

Description of key information

Flash point of the test item was determined to be 135 °C at 1013.25 hPa.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
135 °C
