Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flash point of flammable liquids
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- supporting study
- Justification for type of information:
- For details and justification of read-across please refer to the read-across report attached to IUCLID section 13.
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across source
- Key result
- Flash point:
- 64.2 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 101.5 kPa
- Interpretation of results:
- other: CLP criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- n-Propyl lactate has a flashpoint of 64.2 °C (337.4 K) at 101.5 kPa.
- Executive summary:
n-Propyl lactate was tested in a GLP study conducted according to EEC A.9 and ISO 3679 on its flashpoint. Based on the results, n-Propyl lactate has a flashpoint of 64.2 °C (337.4 K) at 101.5 kPa.
This information is used in a read-across approach in the assessment of the target substance. For details and justification of read-across please refer to the read-across report attached to IUCLID section 13.

Description of key information
Propyl (S)-lactate has a flash point of 64.2 °C at 101.5 kPa (worst-case from a weight of evidence approach).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 64.2 °C
Additional information
Propyl lactate has a flash point of 64.2 °C at 101.5 kPa (ISO 3679).
The equilibrium method ISO 3679 (Bal) is more accurate compared to the non-equilibrium method ISO 2719 (Clary), which gave a flash point of 69 °C.
The lowest flash point has been chosen in the interest of safety as worst-case value.
