Comment

An initial attempt to determine the flash point using the Pensky-Martens apparatus was performed. However due to the viscosity of the sample testing using the Pensky-Martens apparatus was not possible. Consequently the flashpoint determination was carried out using the Setaflash test equipment.

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP criteria not met
Remarks:
(not flammable)
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the flash point of the test substance was determined to be 88°C at 101.6 kPa.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the flash point of the test substance, using the Setaflash cup method according to ASTM D3828, in compliance with GLP. Under the study conditions, the flash point of the test substance was determined to be 88°C at 101.6 kPa (Chilworth, 2017).

Description of key information

The flash point of the test substance was determined using the Setaflash cup method, according to ASTM D3828 (Chilworth, 2017).

Key value for chemical safety assessment
