Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

> 65°C (Abel Pensky method, DIN 51755)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The substance is a solid with a melting point of 53.57 °C and a beginning decomposition at 71.27 °C (344.42 K) before reaching the boiling point (combined OECD 102/103).

In order to determine the flash point of this substance in the range between the melting point (53.57°C) and 65°C, the Abel Pensky Flash Point method (DIN 51755) was conducted.

No flash point could be measured, and therefore the flash point of the substance is > 65°C.

Pensky Marten method (EU A.9) technically non feasible.

During this Abel-Pensky flash point determination the solid crystalline substance of the sample did not melt up to a temperature of 65°C.

Because of this observation, the standard flash point method (A.9, Pensky Martens method) is technically non feasible, since for the Pensky Martens determination the sample has to be stirrable during the temperature increase since any released gases have to be detected.
