Referenceopen allclose all
The test item was heated from 30 °C to 114 °C. The test was stopped when the test item started boiling. The atmospheric pressure on the day of the measurement was 99.8 kPa. The preliminary test was performed in duplicate.
No flash point was observed in this temperature range.
No flash point before 115 °C; at that temperature, no decomposition was observed.
Description of key information
There is no flash point up to the boiling point of 114 °C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No flash point was found for Glyoxylic Acid 50% using the Pensky-Martens flash point apparatus in the temperature range between 30 °C and 114 °C (= boiling point of the test item).
