Isooctadecanoic acid, monoester with propane-1,2-diol

Flash point

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Endpoint:

flash point of flammable liquids

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

comparable to guideline study

Qualifier:

equivalent or similar to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)

GLP compliance:

no

Type of method:

closed cup

Flash point apparatus:

Pensky-Martens apparatus

Key result

Flash point:

> 320 °C

Remarks on result:

no flash point - measurement carried out until boiling temperature

Remarks:

Atmospheric pressure was not measured

Results obtained

The flash point was found to exceed the safe working limits of the Petrotest Flash Point Analyser in both attempted determinations. A result of >320 °C was therefore recorded, this being the temperature at the point where continuing the test was deemed unsafe due to excessive foaming and boiling of very hot liquid and vapour.

 

Product	Analysis 1 (°C)	Analysis 2 (°C)	Average Result (°C)
Test item	>320	>320	>320

 

Conclusion

The closed cup flash point was not determined absolutely, no flash was obtained up to the point where it was unsafe to continue the test. The temperature at this point was 320 °C, therefore the result was recorded as >320 °C.

Description of key information

Flash point > 320 °C (Closed cup method similar to EU Method A.9)

Additional information

No flash was obtained up to the temperature at the point where continuing the test was deemed unsafe due to excessive foaming and boiling of very hot liquid and vapour.
