The flash point of the reference substance Naphthalene was determined to be 82 °C, hardly deviating from the literature value (80 °C).

In case of the test item three parallel tests were carried out. The parameters used for the flash point determinations are presented in Table 1 in detail.

The measured flash point of the test substance: no flash point was observed up to 200 °C.

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified according to EU criteria
Conclusions:
The flash point of the test substance: no flash point was observed up to 200 °C.
Executive summary:

The flash point of the test substance was determined with the help of MINIFLASH automatic flash point tester with the continuously closed cup – electric arc method according to ASTM D 6450. The test was conducted in accordance with the EU method A.9.

The flash point of the test substance: no flash point was observed up to 200 °C.

Description of key information

No flash point was observed for the test material up to 200 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
