Flash Point. Greater than 300 °C, using a closed cup equilibrium method designed to be
Executive summary:

An aliquot (2 g for temperatures up to 100 ºC and 4 g for temperatures above 100 ºC) of the

test item was transferred to the sample cup of the Setaflash 30000-0 tester. The sample was

heated and allowed to equilibrate at the set temperature. The test flame was introduced into

the sample cup for approximately 2½ seconds by sliding the cup shutter open. Observations

were made for ignition of the vapor. If no ignition occurred, the temperature was increased

and the test flame re-introduced. This was repeated until the lowest reproducible temperature

at which a flash occurred, using a fresh sample, was determined.

There was an occurrence where a flash occurred at a temperature not consistent with the other

observations. A fresh sample of test item was used and a replicate flash was not observed. It

was unknown why this flash occurred but it may have been for reasons other than solely due

to the test item.
