Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
13 Jul 1999
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: The study was conducted according to an/the appropriate OECD test guideline, and in compliance with GLP.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
closed cup
Remarks:
Pensky-Martens (DIN EN 22719)
Flash point:
117 °C
Atm. press.:
100.9 kPa

Details:

Preliminary test

 

Flash-point: 113°C

The atmospheric pressure on the day of the test was 100.9 kPa

 

The lowest flash-point was corrected for the atmospheric pressure.

 

Corrected flash-point = 117 + 0.25(101.3 – 100.9)°C

                        = 117.1°C

           

 

Conclusions:
A flash point of 117°C at 100.9 kPa was determined in a reliable study conducted according to an appropriate test protocol, and in compliance with GLP.

Description of key information

117°C at 100.9 kPa

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

A flash point value of 117°C was determined for the substance using a relevant test method. The result is considered reliable. At temperatures > 150°C the evaporation of volatile components was observed and the substance decomposes at temperatures > 270°C.

The flash point of 117°C, with a boiling point at temperatures > 150°C, indicates that the substance should not be classified as a flammable liquid according to the criteria of Regulation 1272/2008/EC.
