Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Campbell et al. (1993): Under the conditions of the study, the flash point of the test material was determined to be 452 K (178.5 °C).
Löffler (1991): Under the conditions of this study, the flash point of the test material is 150 ˚C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 150 °C
Additional information
Two studies are available to address this endpoint and both are considered to be key as the data are equally reliable. The studies were assigned a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria for assessing data quality set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
Campbell et al. (1993)
The flash point of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guideline EU method A.9 (ASTM D93-90) under GLP conditions using Pensky-Martens closed cup method. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
In the test the pilot and test flames were ignited and the test flame applied to the sample at a temperature 17 to 28 °C below the expected flash point. The test flame was applied every 2 °C increase in temperature and left in the test position for 0.5 s with stirring. On determination of the flash point, the heaters were cooled by nitrogen gas and the cup and lid removed. Duplicate determinations were performed.
The mean corrected temperature obtained was 452 K. The pressure during the first test was 101.04 kPa, and the duplicate test was 101.17 kPa, the results corrected to 101.3 kPa.
Under the conditions of the study, the flash point of the test material was determined to be 452 K (178.5 °C).
Löffler (1991)
The flash point of the test substance was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines EU Method A.9 and DIN 51758 under GLP conditions.
The study was carried out using the Pensky-Martens closed cup apparatus. The substance was placed in a test vessel which was progressively heated until the vapour reached a sufficiently high concentration in air to produce a flammable mixture which could be ignited.
Under the conditions of this study, the flash point of the test material is 150 ˚C.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
