Flash point
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flash point
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 2016-12-28 – 2016-12-29
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The flash point of a flammable liquid is the lowest temperature at which there will be enough flammable vapor to ignite when an ignition source is applied.
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Type of method:
- closed cup
- Flash point:
- 97.6 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 979.8 hPa
- Conclusions:
- The mean flash point of geranyl butyrate(CAS No. 106-29-6) is 97.6°C at 979.8hPa.
- Executive summary:
The flash point determination of geranyl butyrate (CAS No. 106-29-6)was done following closed cup method using Pensky-Martens flash point apparatus. The test was conducted in replicates and mean flash point was found to be 97.6°C at 979.8hPa. Based on criteria mentioned in CLP regulation the chemical has flash point >than 60 degree C hence the geranyl butyrate (CAS No. 106-29-6) was considered to be non-flammable.

Description of key information
The flash point determination of geranyl butyrate (CAS No. 106-29-6) was done following closed cup method using Pensky-Martens flash point apparatus. The test was conducted in replicates and mean flash point was found to be 97.6°C at 979.8hPa. Based on criteria mentioned in CLP regulation the chemical has flash point >than 60 degree C hence the geranyl butyrate (CAS No. 106-29-6) was considered to be non-flammable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 97.6 °C
Additional information
Various studies for the Geranyl butyrate (106-29-6) were reviewed to summarize the following information:
The flash point determination of geranyl butyrate (CAS No. 106-29-6) was done following closed cup method using Pensky-Martens flash point apparatus. The test was conducted in replicates and mean flash point was found to be 97.6°C at 979.8hPa. Based on criteria mentioned in CLP regulation the chemical has flash point >than 60 degree C hence the geranyl butyrate (CAS No. 106-29-6) was considered to be non-flammable.
From the available data from Sax’s Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 12thEdition, the flash point of geranyl butyrate was determined to be 92.7778 degree C.
As per the available data for flash point from laboratory report and handbook, the flash point value determined was in range from 92.7778 degree C to 97.6 degree C. As the data from lab has K1 reliability and the test was performed using OECD guidelines which has the value of flash point as 97.6 °C at 979.8hPa within the range thus considered as key study for the chemical safety assessment. Also based on criteria mentioned in CLP regulation the chemical has flash point >than 60 degree C hence the geranyl butyrate (CAS No. 106-29-6) was considered to be non-flammable.
