Results and discussion

Flash point
Remarks on result:
no flash point according to standard method

Any other information on results incl. tables

The test cup was heated at a rate of 5 ± 0.5°C/minute.  Starting at 25°C, an attempt was made to ignite the vapour of the test item for every 2°C temperature rise. No flash-point was observed below the temperature at which reaction and/or degradation of the test item (i.e. 287°C) occurred. Therefore the preliminary test was repeated.  The temperature of the test item at the start of the additional test was 25°C. Starting at 25°C the ignition source was applied for every 2°C temperature rise.

It was visually observed that the test item reacted and/or degraded at approximately 280°C.  No flammable vapour/air mixture was produced at temperatures below the temperature at which reaction and/or degradation of the test item occurred.  From this, it was concluded that the test item has no flash point.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The closed cup method was applied for the determination of the flash-point of the test substance. No flash-point was observed below the temperature at which reaction and/or degradation of the test item occurred.
