Description of key information
The flash point of the sample was determined according to EN 456 via rapid equilibrium closed cup method without GLP-conditions. The determined flash point of thymol is 116 °C at 1013 hPa.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 116 °C
Additional information
The flash point of 116 °C determined in the key study is supported by handbook data (Kirk-Othmer, 2006), where a flash point of 101°C > is indicated. As both values are > 60 °C the substance does not need to be classified according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
