Description of key information

Hansen (2011c), EU Method A.9. The flash point of the test material was determined to be 198 °C at 1015.8 hPa.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
198 °C

Additional information

In the key study (Hansen 2011c), the flash point of the test material was determined in accordance with the standardised guideline EU Method A.9 using the Flash Point rapid equilibrium closed cup method. The study was assigned a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the principle for assessing data quality, as defined in Klimisch (1997). Under the conditions of the study the flash point of the test material was determined to be 198 °C at 1015.8 hPa.

Four supporting studies were also provided which report the flash point of the registered substance. Chemical Book (2012) Guide Chem (2012) and Look Chem (2012), report the flash point to be between 21 and 174.1 °C as part of product specifications for the registered substance. Information was also available in the form of a material safety data sheet, Guide Chem (2012), which reports the flash point to be 174.1 °C. Information relating to the method of generating the data, or the original source, was not provided. Accordingly each study was assigned a reliability score of 4, in line with the principles for assessing data quality as defined by Klimisch (1997). The reported data is in good agreement with the findings of the key study, and considered sufficient to act as supporting data.
