Key result
Flash point:
45 °C
Atm. press.:
100 kPa

Sample preparation: Tested as received.

Heating rate: 1.3 °C/minute (slow ramp rate from Method B).

Stirring rate: 120 rpm (stirring rate from Method A)

Two flash point determinations were performed:

Test 1: temperature range from 21 to 45 °C, measured value: 45 °C

Test 2: temperature range from 19 to 45 °C, measured value: 44.5 °C

Interpretation of results:
Category 3 (flammable liquids) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
In a relevant and conclusive study, the flash point of the test substance was found to be 45 ± 2°C.
Executive summary:

The flash point of the test substance has been determined according to ASTM D93 standard for Pensky-Martens closed-cup testing under GLP. The experiment is considered relevant, adequate and conclusive.

Approximately 70 mL of the test substance was placed in a test cup closed by a lid and heated at a specified rate with stirring. At 1 °C increments a small test flame was automatically introduced into the vapour space above the liquid through a temporary opening in the lid. A flash was detected by a thermocouple suspended in the vapour space in two experiments and the flash point of the substance was found to be 45 ± 2 °C at atmospheric pressure and the substance is categorised as flammable liquid, Cat. 3, based on GHS.

Description of key information

In a valid, reliable and conclusive study, the flash point of the test substance was found to be 45 ± 2 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
