Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Reference
Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Flash Point Tester PMA 4 following Pensky-Martens, Fa. Petrotest:
About 70 mL of the liquid test item were brought into the clean test vessel. Then the test vessel was set into the instrument and the instrument was started.
For each determination, a fresh aliquot of the test item was used.
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
closed cup
Flash point apparatus:
Pensky-Martens apparatus
Flash point:
>= 191.5 °C
Remarks on result:
other: ambient pressure
Conclusions:
In a GLP-study according to EU Method A.9, the registered substance had a flash point of at least 191.5°C.
Executive summary:

In a GLP-study according to EU Method A.9, the flash point of the registered substance was determined.

First, a safety test was performed: approx. 3 mL of the test item was heated with a Bunsen burner up to the boiling point of 375 °C. During heating the colour of the test item became darker (reddish brown-black). After cooling down, the test item was nearly black and high viscous.

Then, a pre-test and a main study with six experiments were performed using a flashpoint tester.

The flashpoint CARDOLITE NC-513 is stated as 191.5°C (corresponding to 464.7 K).

This value is the lowest value of all determinations as no reproducible flash point was obtained. This was considered to be caused by decomposition of the test item during heating of the samples in the test.
