Executive summary:

Introduction


The determination was carried out using a closed cup flash point tester∗, using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A.9 Flash Point of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.


Results


Atmospheric pressure: 101.0 kPa


Observed flash point: 110.0 °C


Corrected flash point: 110.1 °C


Conclusion


The flash point of the test item has been determined to be 110 ± 2 °C.

Description of key information

The flash point of the test item has been determined to be 110 ± 2 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
110 °C

Additional information

The determination of flash point was carried out using a closed cup equilibrium method (Envigo Research Limited, 2018, Study MK65MG). The procedure was designed to be compatible with the EC Method A.9 and was conducted in compliance with GLP.

 

The flash point of the test item has been determined to be 110 ± 2 °C.
