Description of key information
The flash point for benzonitrile is reported to be between 66 and 75°C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 66 °C
Additional information
The flash point reported by different references is in the range between 66 and 75 °C.
As the flash point (66 °C) reported by SKW Trostberg AG corresponds to information provided by the GESTIS Substance Database (67 °C, closed cup), which is a official database and therefore deemed to be reliable, this value is chosen as key value for the chemical safety assessment.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
