Reference
Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
closed cup
Flash point:
177.5 °C
Atm. press.:
1 013 hPa

The lowest temperature at which the application of the ignition source causes the vapour of the test portion to ignite and propagate over the surface of the liquid was recorded as the flash point at the ambient barometric pressure (1006 hPa). This temperature was corrected automatically by the apparatus to standard atmospheric pressure (1013 hPa).

In the main tests, ignitions were determined at 178.0 °C, 177.0 °C and 177.0 °C. The average value is 177.5 °C.

Executive summary:

The flash point of the test item is 177.5 °C at standard atmospheric pressure (Currenta, 2009).

Description of key information
