Chemical name: 2-Ethylhexyl 2-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-ylcarbonyl)benzoate
CAS number: 75005-95-7
EC Number: 278-051-5
Molecular formula: C28H30O3
Molecular weight: 414.22 - Flash point:
- 118 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 101.3 hPa
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The closed cup method was applied for the determination of the flash-point of C991. The flash-point of the test item was 118°C.
- Executive summary:
In this guideline (EU A.9) study, conducted with GLP certification, the flash-point of the test item was 118°C. at 1013 hPa.
The test substance has a flashpoint > 60 °C, and is not considered a flammable liquid, under the criteria of the CLP regulation (1272/2008)
Reference
Preliminary Test
The estimated flash-point of the test item was 117°C.
Main Study
The results of the main study on the determination of the flash-point of the test item are given in Table 6 (below).
The difference between the results obtained with the Test 1 and Test 2 was ≤ 6°C. From this, it was concluded that the flash-point of the test item is the lowest flash-point obtained.
Table 6 - Main Study: Flash-point of the Test Item
| Test | Flash-point | Lowest flash-point |
| [°C] | [°C] | |
| 1 | 120 | 118 |
| 2 | 118 |
Description of key information
Study conducted to recognised testing guidelines [with GLP certification].
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 118 °C
