Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
16.11. - 20.11.2015
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with national standard methods with acceptable restrictions
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
ISO 2719 (Determination of flash point - Pensky-Martens closed cup method)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Other quality assurance:
ISO/IEC 17025 (General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories)
Type of method:
closed cup
Flash point apparatus:
Pensky-Martens apparatus
Key result
Flash point:
14 °C
Atm. press.:
998 mBar
Remarks on result:
other: The flashpoint of the test material is only indicative, because the test method DIN ISO 2719 is not appropriate for flashpoint values <40 °C.

a) First main test:

Initial temperature: 1 °C. atmospheric pressure: 998 mbar.

Test start: 7 °C, Test end: 15 °C, Steps: 1 °C

Flashpoint: 14.5 °C

b) Second main test:

Initial temperature: 6 °C. atmospheric pressure: 998 mbar.

Test start: 7 °C, Test end: 14 °C, Steps: 1 °C

Flashpoint: 13.5 °C

The flashpoint of the test material is 14 °C.

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (highly flammable liquids) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The flashpoint was determined to be 14 °C at 998 mbar (ISO 2719). The boiling point is >35 °C. Therefore, the substance is classified as Category 2 highly flammable liquid (H225).
Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Study period:
29.07. - 19.08.2016
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with national standard methods with acceptable restrictions
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
ISO 13736 (Petroleum products and other liquids - Determination of flash point - Abel closed cup method)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Other quality assurance:
ISO/IEC 17025 (General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories)
Type of method:
closed cup
Flash point apparatus:
Abel apparatus
Flash point:
13 °C
Flash point:
15 °C

The flashpoint was analyzed according to DIN ENISO 13736. The results were outside of the allowed deviation (max. 1 °C). So both individual results were stated.

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (highly flammable liquids) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The flashpoint was determined to be 13/15 °C (ISO 13736). The boiling point is >35 °C. Therefore, the substance is classified as Category 2 highly flammable liquid (H225).

Description of key information
