- Executive summary:
Introduction
The flash point of the test substance was determined in accordance with the procedure described in EU Regulation (EC) 440/2008, Annex Part A test A9.
Method
The closed cup method, and due to the nature of the test material, procedure B as described in the guideline was used for the flash point determination.
The sample is heated at a rate of 1 to 1.6°C per minute with continual stirring at 250 ± 10 rpm in a closed cup (volume ca. 100 cm3). A small flame with a diameter of 3.2 to 4.8 mm is directed into the cup containing the sample, at regular intervals, with simultaneous interruption of stirring. The flash point is the lowest temperature at which the application of a flame results in an ignition of the vapour, above the sample.
The test was undertaken at an atmospheric pressure of 100 kPa and the result adjusted for sea level pressure (101.3 kPa).
Results
The flash point of the test substance was 60.5°C (Corrected for sea level atmospheric pressure).
Conclusion
The test substance has a flash point of 60.5 °C at 101.3 kPa (sea level).

Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
