- GLP compliance:
- no
- Type of method:
- closed cup
- Flash point:
- ca. 149 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 101.3 kPa
- Remarks on result:
- other: corrected to standard pressure
- Conclusions:
- The flash point of Alfol 16- Alcohol was determined to be 149 °C at 101.3 kPa.
- Executive summary:
The Flash point of Hexadecan-1-ol was determined according to ASTM-D93 Standard Test Methods for Flash Point by Pensky-Martens Closed Cup Tester. The flash point was measured in duplicate at 2 different days. The value for the corrected flash point was determined to be 149 °C.
Reference
Measurement parameters:
Rotation speed of the sample stirrer: 100 rpm
Expected Flash point of the sample: 149.0 °C
Measurement:
Temperature of initial ignition source application: 130.0 °C / 130 °C
Atmosphreic pressure: 101.4 kPa / 103.0 kPa
Flash point (uncorrrected): 148.9 °C / 148.9 °C
Falsh point (corrected): 149.0 °C / 148.5 °C
Description of key information
The closed-cup flash point of hexadecan-1-ol is ca. 149°C (ASTM-D93).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 149 °C
Additional information
The flash point of ca. 149°C was determined with the use of a closed-cup method in accordance with ASTM-D93. The result is considered to be reliable and is selected as key study.
A flash point value of 149°C and boiling point of 319°C indicate that hexadecan-1-ol should not be classified for flammability in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
Discussion of trends in the Category of C6-24 linear and essentially-linear aliphatic alcohols:
The flash point of Category substances follow a predictable trend of increasing flash point temperature with increasing chain length together with increasing boiling point and decreasing vapour pressure.
