Procedure and Results:
All parts of the cup and its accessories were thoroughly cleaned and dried before the test was started. Particular care was taken to avoid leaving any solvent in the apparatus. The cup was then filled with the test item up to the level indicated by the filling mark. The lid was placed on the cup taking care to ensure that the locating devices properly engaged. The thermometer was then inserted.
The test flame was then lit and adjusted to the size of a bead 4 mm in diameter. Then the cup was heated ensuring that the thermometer increased by not less than 5 °C or more than 6 °C per minute. The stirrer was turned by an electric motor at a rate of 90 to 120 rpm, stirring in a downward direction. The first application of the test flame was made at a temperature of 25 °C and repeated every 1 °C up to a temperature of 99 °C. The test flame was applied by operating, the device controlling the shutter and test flame burner so that the flame was lowered in approximately half a second, left in its lowered position for approximately one second, and quickly raised to its high position. No stirring took place during the application of the test flame.
The following result was obtained: Flash point = 99 °C at 1018 mbar.
Description of key information
The flash point of the test item is 99 °C at 1018 mbar.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 99 °C
Additional information
According to CLP, no classification as flammable liquid is required.
