Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

* The corrected value denotes the mean value adjusted for atmospheric pressure.

# As the sample did not ignite after reaching the upper test temperature limit for the Tag closed cup method of 92°C, the flash point was assigned as “not determined”.

During the Cleveland open cup method flash point test, smoke began to arise from the sample at around 150°C, however, no phenomenon, such as boiling or foaming, was observed even at the flash point. After the test, the sample had turned yellow and become extremely viscous.

Conclusions:
Flash point determined as 223°C
Executive summary:

The flash point determination test on the sample was performed according to the Tag closed cup method and the Cleveland open cup method, verification tests for Hazardous Material Type 4 designated under Japan's Fire Defense Law.

The flash point was determined to be 223°C.

During the Cleveland open cup method flash point test, smoke began to arise from the sample at around 150°C, however, no phenomenon, such as boiling or foaming, was observed even at the flash point. After the test, the sample had turned yellow and become extremely viscous.

Description of key information
