Preliminary test

The estimated flash-point of the test substance was 166°C.

 

Main study

The results of the main study on the determination of the flash-point of the test substance are given in the following table. The difference between the results obtained with test 2 and 3 was < 6°C. From this, it was concluded that the flash-point of the test substance is the lowest flash-point obtained.

The atmospheric pressure was 103.4 kPa.
