Description of key information

The flash point determination of test substance was done as per the test guideline OECD 103. The method is closed cup method using Pensky Martin’s Flash Point Apparatus. The flashpoint of the test substance was determined to be 79.6°C at 970.2 hPa

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
79.6 °C

Additional information

The flash point determination of test substance was done as per the test guideline OECD 103. The method is closed cup method using Pensky Martin’s Flash Point Apparatus. The flashpoint of the test substance was determined to be 79.6°C at 970.2 hPa.

From the available data from reliable source, the flash point of test chemical was determined to be 79 degree C. Based on criteria mentioned in CLP regulation the chemical has flash point >than 60 degree C hence the substance was considered to be non-flammable.

As the data from experiment has K1 reliability and the test was performed using OECD guidelines which has the value of flash point as 79.6°C at 970.2 hPa, thus considered as key study for the chemical safety assessment.
