Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The determination of the flash point of 400160 was conducted according to EU method A.9, OPPTS 830.6315 and UN Manual Test Methods 32.4 in compliance with GLP standards.
No reproducible flash point could be observed. After consideration of all measurements the minimum temperature for the flash point was used and the flash point will be stated as 178.5 °C at atmospheric pressure.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 178.5 °C
Additional information
A flash point tester following Pensky-Martens was used for the determination. At first, the range of the flash point was determined using a high heating range. Within this range, the determination of the flash point was repeated five times. As no reproducible flash point could be observed, a limit value for the flash point was determined through a triplicate determination with the start temperature 190 °C. 400160 showed an irregular behaviour, showing flash points in the range of 178.5 up to > 210 °C. Therefore, after conducting eight experiments, the minimum temperature of 178.5 °C is considered as flash point at atmospheric pressure.
The inconsistencies in the measurements are attributed to the test item’s properties: the mixture of different liquids are changing during the heating phase of the instrument. Additionally, the test item might react with the copper part of the vessel: a green colour of the liquid was observed when emptying the test vessel after the performances. The flame (when observed) was green, too.
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
