Reference
Results for,
| Test material | Test guideline | Flash point in °C |
| Isomeren-Menthol, 76BA8 | DIN EN 2719 | 88.0 |
| Rein-Menthol, 76KF3 | DIN EN 2719 | 93.0 |
| Roh-Menthol, 73BA4 | DIN EN 2719 | 87.0 |
Rein-Menthol, 76KF3 corresponds to CAS 89 -78 -1
Description of key information
As DL-Menthol is handled as melt and the melting point is 43 °C, the flash point has been determined according to
ISO 2719: 2002 (Determination of flash point - Pensky-Martens closed cup method) (Bayer Industry Services, 2006). For DL-Menthol the flash point is 93 °C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 93 °C
Additional information
Another study determined the flash point of raw Menthol, which consists of ca. 60 % DL-Menthol, as 90 °C (Currenta, 2010) according to EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)(DIN EN ISO 2719).
