Description of key information
Flash point: -6 and -9°C
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- -6 °C
Additional information
The flash point of the registered substance was obtained from two handbooks or collections of reliable data which has been subject to peer-review. Flash point values of -6°C and -9°C were reported for the substance.
Flash point values of -6°C and -9°C and a boiling point of 79.6°C indicate that the substance should be classified for flammability in accordance with the criteria of Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
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.
