according to guideline

Guideline:

ISO 2719 (Determination of flash point - Pensky-Martens closed cup method)

Principles of method if other than guideline:

The flash point of a flammable liquid is the lowest temperature at which there will be enough flammable vapor to ignite when an ignition source is applied.

GLP compliance:

not specified

Type of method:

closed cup

Flash point apparatus:

Pensky-Martens apparatus

Flash point:

109.6 °C

Atm. press.:

977.7 hPa

Flash point was determined for test item. The Test item is a colourless to pale yellow liquid .The test was performed with the help of Pensky-Martens flash point apparatus. To perform the test, the Test item was filled in the oil cup up to the circular marking inside the apparatus. The temperature increase was observed with the help of calibrated thermometer that was inserted in the port provided. The source of flame was provided using the gas lighter at the surface of the oil cup by sliding the port at every 2 °C rise in temperature. Thus, the temperature at which the first flash occurred was reported as flash point .The determination was done in triplicate and the mean flashpoint of the test item was thus found to be 109.6°C.

Interpretation of results:

other: non-flammable

Conclusions:

The mean flash point of test item is 109.6°C at 977.7hPa.

Executive summary:

The flash point determination of test item was done following closed cup method using Pensky-Martens flash point apparatus. The test was conducted in replicates and mean flash point was determined to be 109.6°C at 977.7hPa. Based on criteria mentioned in CLP regulation the chemical has flash point >than 60 degree C hence the test item was considered to be non-flammable.

Description of key information

The flash point determination of test item was done following closed cup method using Pensky-Martens flash point apparatus. The test was conducted in replicates and mean flash point was determined to be 109.6°C at 977.7hPa. Based on criteria mentioned in CLP regulation the chemical has flash point >than 60 degree C hence the test item was considered to be non-flammable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:

109.6 °C

Additional information

The flash point determination of test item was done following closed cup method using Pensky-Martens flash point apparatus. The test was conducted in replicates and mean flash point was determined to be 109.6°C at 977.7hPa. From the available data from handbooks the flash point of test item was determined to be 100 Degree C. As per the available data for flash point from laboratory report and handbook,as the data from laboratory report has K1 reliability and the test was performed using OECD guidelines which has the value of flash point as 109.6 °C at977.7 hPa thus considered as key study for the chemical safety assessment. Based on criteria mentioned in CLP regulation the chemical has flash point >than 60 degree C hence the test item was considered to be non-flammable.
