Findings

Program	Expected flash point (setting) in °C	Flash point (found) in °C	Mean in °C	Notes
Search	365*	201.1		Not used for calculation (pre-test)
EN ISO 2719-A	201	199.5	200.5	Difference ≤ 2 K
EN ISO 2719-A	201	201.5

*the temperature was selected only to 365 °C, as there is the measuring limit of the instrument

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The flash point is given as the mean value of the duplicate determination. The measured flash point is therefore 200.5 ± 1.0 °C (corresponding to 473.7 ± 1.0 K).

Executive summary:

Determination of the flash point of LUMULSE GMT-K ac-cording to EU Method A.9, OPPTS 830.6315 and UN Manual Test Methods 32.4

 

Findings and Results:

First, a safety test was performed: approx. 3 mL of the test item was heated with a Bunsen burner up to the boiling phase of 405 °C. The chain of bubbles broke at the temperature of 398 °C. The appearance had not changed after cooling down.

Then, a pre-test and a main test with two experiments were performed using a flashpoint tester.

The flashpoint of LUMULSE GMT-K is stated as 200.5 °C ± 1.0 °C (corresponding to 473.7 ± 1.0 K)).

This value is the mean value of two independent determinations.
