Specific details on test material used for the study:

CH3OCH(CF3)2

The authors reported a Flash Point (deg K) = None. In this same article, flash point values were reported for several other hydrofluorinated ethers and these values were very close to the substance's reported boiling point.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The substance is reported to be non-flammable.

Executive summary:

In a peer-reviewed scientific journal, the authors from a prominent National research laboratory reported that a flash point (deg K) = none. In this same article, flash point values were reported for several other hydrofluorinated ethers and these values were very close to the substance's reported boiling point. Therefore, even though methods were not reported in the journal, it is reasonable to assume that one of the standard flash point methods was being used by the laboratory.
