Description of key information

Flash point: 40 °C. 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
40 °C

Additional information

The key value is taken from an experimental result according to the closed-cup method (German Industry Standard DIN 51755) performed by BASF AG (1992). Supporting information by Hawley (1977) indicates a flash point for 2 -dimethylaminoethanol of 40.6 °C.
