Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
Flash point (hexamethyldisiloxane): -6°C (DIN 51755)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- -6 °C
Additional information
Four reliable closed cup flash point values are available for the substance. In the key study, a flash point value of -6°C was determined for the substance using a relevant test method. The result is considered to be reliable. Other reliable flash point values of -5°C, 4°C and 1°C were also determined for the substance. An open-cup value of <79°C was also reported.
In other secondary sources to which reliability could not be assigned, flash point values of -3°C, -6°C and -30°C were reported for the substance.
Variations in the flash point may be due to differences in purity of the test substances and variations in the test method. Where purity is available in the source documents it is >97%. The key study is selected as the study with the lowest flash point using a conservative approach.
A flash point of -6°C and a measured boiling point of 100.5°C, indicate that the substance should be classified as a highly flammable liquid according to the criteria of EC Regulation 1272/2008.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
