977.1 hPa
Remarks on result:
other: No other detail available
Interpretation of results:
other: Non-flammable
Conclusions:
The mean flash point of 2-ethoxy benzoic acid (pure)(CAS No. 134-11-2) is 98.6°C at 977.1hPa.
Executive summary:

The flash point determination of 2-ethoxy benzoic acid (pure) (CAS No. 134-11-2)was done following closed cup method using Pensky-Martens flash point apparatus. The test was conducted in replicates and mean flash point was determine to be 98.6°C at 977.1hPa.

Based on criteria mentioned in CLP regulation the chemical has flash point >than 60 degree C hence the 2-ethoxybenzoic acid (134-11 -2) was considered to be non-flammable.

Description of key information

From laboratory data the flash point determination of 2-ethoxy benzoic acid (pure) (CAS No. 134-11-2) was done following closed cup method using Pensky-Martens flash point apparatus. The test was conducted in replicates and mean flash point was determine to be 98.6°C at 977.1hPa.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
98.6 °C

Additional information

Various predicted studies for the benzyl 2-ethoxybenzoic acid (134-11-2) were reviewed to summarize the following information:

From laboratory data the flash point determination of 2-ethoxy benzoic acid (pure) (CAS No. 134-11-2) was done following closed cup method using Pensky-Martens flash point apparatus. The test was conducted in replicates and mean flash point was determine to be 98.6°C at 977.1hPa.

From available data of handbook, the flash point of 2-ethoxybenzoic acid (134-11-2) was determined to be >110 degree C. Based on criteria mentioned in CLP regulation the chemical has flash point >than 60 degree C hence the 2-ethoxybenzoic acid (134-11 -2) was considered to be non-flammable. As the data from laboratory report has K1 reliability and the test was performed using OECD guidelines which has the value of flash point as 98.6 °C at977.1 hPa,thus considered as key study for the chemical safety assessment. Also based on criteria mentioned in CLP regulation the chemical has flash point >than 60 degree C hence the benzyl 2-ethoxybenzoic acid (134-11-2) was considered to be non-flammable.
