Flash point
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flash point, other
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 2016
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- ASTM D93 (Standard test methods for flash point by pensky-martens closed cup tester)
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Type of method:
- closed cup
- Flash point apparatus:
- Pensky-Martens apparatus
- Key result
- Flash point:
- 45 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 101 325 Pa
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 3 (flammable liquids) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Pensky- Martens Closed Cup flash point of vinyl chloroacetate = 45 °C
- Executive summary:
The flash point of vinyl chloroacetate was determined using the Pensky-Martens closed-cup method, conducted according to ASTM D93. The method involved heating the sample of approximately 70 cm3 within a cup of specified dimensions held within an electrically-heated enclosure. The sample is stirred continuously at a prescribed rate and the rate of temperature increase of the sample is also controlled. At specified intervals, a test flame is directed into the space above the sample and the presence/absence of a flash is noted. The temperature at which a flash is first observed is recorded and the test repeated when the sample has cooled sufficiently. The study determined the flash point of the sample to be 45 °C (mean of 3 measurements: 46 °C, 44 °C, 45 °C).

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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
