Key result
Flash point:
210 °C
Atm. press.:
102.3 kPa

Measurement parameters

Rotation Speed of the Sample Stirrer:100 rpm

Expected Flash Point of Sample: 227.0°C

Measurement

(repeat determination)

Temperature of Initial Ignition Source Application:170.0°C / 170.0°C

Atmospheric Pressure:102.8 kPa / 102.3 kPa

Flash Point (Uncorrected):179.4°C / 176.7°C

Flash Point (Corrected):179.0°C / 176.5°C

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
A flash point value of 210°C at standard pressure was determined for the substance using a relevant test method. The result is considered to be reliable.
Executive summary:

Docosan-1 -ol was determined according ASTM D 93. The Flash point was determined to be 210°C at atmospheric pressure.

Description of key information

The flash point of docosan-1-ol is 210°C at 1013 hPa.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
210 °C

Additional information

A flash point of 210°C at 1013 hPa was determined for docosan-1-ol using a non-equilibrium closed-cup method in accordance with ASTM-D93. The result is considered to be reliable.

A flash point value of 210°C indicates that docosan-1-ol should not be classified for flammability in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.

Discussion of trends in the Category of C6-24 linear and essentially-linear aliphatic alcohols:

The flash point of Category substances follow a predictable trend of increasing flash point temperature with increasing chain length together with increasing boiling point and decreasing vapour pressure.
