Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Study period:
07 August 2001
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
according to: DIN EN 22719: "Bestimmung des Flammpunktes Verfahren nach Pensky-Martens im geschlossenen Tiegel"; December 1993.
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
closed cup
Flash point:
72 °C
Atm. press.:
101.08 kPa
Conclusions:
In conclusion, the flash-point of the test substance is 72°C under the conditions of the test. This is above the SADT (50 oC)
Executive summary:

The determination of the flash-point was performed using a PenskyMartens closed cup flash-point apparatus, in accordance with EEC-Directive 92/69 EEC, A.9 "Flash-point" (1992) and DIN EN 22719: "Bestimmung des Flammpunktes Verfahren nach Pensky-Martens im geschlossenen Tiegel"; December 1993.

The flash-point is 72°C when using a Pensky-Martens closed cup flashpoint apparatus. This is above the SADT (50 oC).

Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
The study does not need to be conducted because the flash point for liquid organic peroxides is only relevant in the temperature range where the product is thermally stable. Above the SADT (self-accelerating decomposition temperature) of the product flash point determination is not relevant because decomposition products are evolved

Description of key information

The flash-point is 72°C when using a Pensky-Martens closed cup flashpoint apparatus.  This is above the SADT (50 oC), so the endpoint is therefore waived.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
