Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Executive summary:

The HSDB database provides, as secondary source, physico-chemical data on the substance.

The Flash Point, cited from ILO OHS database, is -18°C.

Description of key information

(from handbook)

FP in open cup

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
-18 °C

Additional information

Two reliable literature sources provide the same value of -18°C. Therefore it is retained as key data, despite using an open cup method.

A third reference, for which reliability is not assignable, provides a much lower value, at -51°C. There is no further information, but the difference would be consistent with a closed cup test vs open. However, this has no impact on the classification, as the key result is already below the lowest threshold, based on CLP criteria.

Please refer to IUCLID section 4.13 Flammability endpoint summary for justification of classification.
