* This data point was determined by the preliminary test (heating rate 8.5 K/min) and was not used for

the determination of the final flash point.

** This data point was determined by heating rate 5.5 K/min, as proposed in DIN EN ISO 2719.

 

The mean flash point corrected to 1013 hPa is 167.69 °C. The final flash point rounded down with an accuracy of 0.5 K is 167.5 °C.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The flash point of the test item is 167.5 °C under atmospheric conditions (1013.3 hPa).
Executive summary:

The flash point was determined according to EU method A.9 in a closed cup experinment according to Pensky-Martens. The test item was liquefied at 40 °C for two hours and filled into the test vessel, which was progressively heated (8.5 K/min for the preliminary test and 5.5 K/min for the main test) until the vapour reached a sufficiently high concentration in air to produce a flammable mixture which could be ignited. The final flash point rounded down with an accuracy of 0.5 K was determined to be 167.5 °C.

Description of key information

The flash point of the test item is 167.5 °C under atmospheric conditions (1013.3 hPa).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
167.5 K
