Interpretation of results:
other: non-flammable
Conclusions:
The flash point of test chemical was observed to be 99 °C at 977.3 hPa
Executive summary:

The flash point observation of test substance was done as per the test guideline ASTM D93 (Standard test methods for flash point by pensky-martens closed cup tester). The flash point of the test substance was observed to be 99°C at 977.3 hPa. Thus accroding to observed value the given chemical was observed to be non-flammable.

Description of key information

The flash point observation of test substance was done as per the test guideline OECD 103. Closed cup method using Pensky-Martens Flash Point Apparatus were used. The flashpoint of the test substance was observed to be 99°C at 977.3 hPa.

Thus accroding to observed value the given chemical was observed to be non-flammable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
99 °C

Additional information

The flash point observation of test substance was done as per the test guideline OECD 103. Closed cup method using Pensky-Martens Flash Point Apparatus were used. The flashpoint of the test substance was observed to be 99°C at 977.3 hPa.Thus according to observe value the given chemical was observed to be non-flammable.

 

Similarly based on available data from another study, the flash point of test chemical was determined to be greater than 100 °C.

Thus according to observed value, the given chemical was not classified as flammable.

 

Thus according to the observed value the given chemical was observed to be non-flammable.
