Key result
Flash point:
116 °C
Atm. press.:
1 013.25 hPa

1.measurement: 390 K

2.measurement 388 K

 

Mean: 389 K ± 1 K

The individual results were within the specified repeatability range of ± 2 K for the method.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The flash point was determined to be 116 °C at 1013.25 hPa.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.9 to determine flash point of the test item using a closed cup method. Two individual measurements were performed. The individual results were within the specified repeatability range of ± 2 K for the method. Thus, the results were regarded as valid. The measured flash point at atmospheric pressure was corrected to a standard pressure of 1013 hPa. The flash point was determined to be at 116 °C (corrected to the ambient pressure).

Description of key information

The flash point was determined to be 116 °C at 1013.25 hPa.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
116 °C
