- Executive summary:
A study was performed to determine the flash point of the test item.The method followed was designed to be compliant with Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.9, “Flash Point” and ISO standard 3679.
The flash point of the test item is determined with a closed cup tester, by an equilibrium method called “Small Scale” (commonly known as Setaflash).
The substance is placed into a test cup and heated using a temperature gradient program. Ignition trials are carried out in order to ascertain whether or not the sample flashes at the temperature tested.A pre-test followed by two determinations were conducted.
For the pre-test, a flash point of 133.0°C was observed. This data was used to select the range of temperatures for the following determinations.
During the main test, determinations 1 and 2 both gave a corrected flash point of 133.0°C at 101.3 kPa.
Moreover the flash point of the reference substances glycerol and CRM respects the checking cards limits.The corrected flash point of the test item was determined to be 133.0°C at 101.3 kPa.
Reference
Results:
Pre-test:
No flash was observed between 25°C and 130°C.
The flash point of the test item was detected at 133.0°C during the ramp test between 130°C and 160°C.
First determination:
The flash point of the test item was detected at 132.0°C during the first determination.
An automatic correction was applied to the obtained result because the ambient pressure was not 101.3 kPa but 97.6kPa.
With this correction, the flash point value is 133.0°C at 101.3 kPa.
The appearance of the test item left in the test cup did not change. No sign of decomposition or film formation was observed.
Second determination:
The flash point was detected at 132°C during the second determination.
An automatic correction was applied to the obtained result because the ambient pressure was not 101.3 kPa but 97.6kPa.
With this correction, the flash point value is 133.0°C at 101.3 kPa.
The appearance of the test item left in the test cup did not change. No sign of decomposition or film formation was observed.
Control of the performance of the Method:
The flash point of the Certified Reference Material (Batch N° 4182308) was detected at 75.0°C.
An automatic correction was applied to the obtained result because the ambient pressure was not 101.3 kPa but 97.5 kPa.
With this correction, the flash point value of the Certified Reference Material is 76.0°C at 101.3 kPa.
The flash point of the reference substance glycerol (Batch N° 19A304120) was detected at 189.0°C.
An automatic correction was applied to the obtained result because the ambient pressure was not 101.3 kPa but 97.5 kPa.
With this correction, the flash point value of the glycerol is 190.0°C at 101.3 kPa.
Description of key information
The flash point of the substance is 133.0ºC at 101.3kPa.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 133 °C
