- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- From 08 July 2014 to 22 October 2014
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:

- Type of method:
- closed cup
- Flash point apparatus:
- Pensky-Martens apparatus
- Dynamic viscosity of test material:
- The dynamic viscosity of 2,2-Difluoroethyl acetate is 1.09 mPa.s at 20°C and 0.812 mPa.s at 40°C.
- Key result
- Flash point:
- 30 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 1 024 mBar
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 3 (flammable liquids) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The flash point of 2,2-Difluoroethyl acetate was found to be equal to 30˚C at 1024 mbar .
- Executive summary:
The flash point of 2,2-Difluoroethyl acetate was investigated in a GLP-compliant study according to the EU A.9 method using Pensky-Martens closed cup flash point apparatus. The flash point of 2,2-Difluoroethyl acetate was found to be 30˚C. Based on this data, 2,2-Difluoroethyl acetate needs to be classified in category 3 for its flammable properties under CLP.
Reference
The duplicate determined flash points of 2,2-Difluoroethyl acetate were 32°C and 30°C. The lowest value is reported as the flash point for safety assessment purposes.
Description of key information
The flash point of 2,2-Difluoroethyl acetate is equal to 30˚C.
Based on this data, 2,2-Difluoroethyl acetate needs to be classified in category 3 for its flammable properties under CLP.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 30 °C
Additional information
An experimental study performed under GLP compliance and in accordance with EU A.9 method was flagged as a key study and assigned a Klimisch score of 1. It reports that flash point of 2,2-Difluoroethyl acetate is equal to 30˚C at 1024 mbar.
