Conclusions:
The mean flash point of 3-phenylpropyl acetate (CAS No. 122-72-5) was 99°C at 976.3hPa.
Executive summary:

The flash point determination of 3-phenylpropyl acetate (CAS No. 122-72-5) was done following closed cup method using Pensky-Martens flash point apparatus. The test was conducted in replicates and mean flash point was found to be 99°C at 976.3hPa.

Hence based on experimental value the 3-Phenylpropyl acetate (122-72-5) was not classified as flammable.

Description of key information

The mean flash point of 3-phenylpropyl acetate (CAS No. 122-72-5) was 99°C at 976.3hPa.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
99 °C

Additional information

The flash point determination of 3-phenylpropyl acetate (CAS No. 122-72-5) was done following closed cup method using Pensky-Martens flash point apparatus. The test was conducted in replicates and mean flash point was found to be 99°C at 976.3hPa.

Other supporting data from handbooks and publications, also supported the selected ket study and exhibited the flash point of 3-Phenylpropyl acetate (122-72-5) as 100 degree C and greater than 93.33 degree C.

Hence based on experimental obtained values the 3-Phenylpropyl acetate (122-72-5) was not classified as flammable.
