- No data
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- BTS sample number: 120027
- Key result
- Flash point:
- 28 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 1 013 hPa
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 3 (flammable liquids) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- A flash point of 28.0 °C was determined (1013 hPa).
- Executive summary:
According to the German standard method "DIN EN ISO 13736 (closed cup)" a flash point of 28.0 °C was determined (1013 hPa). Therefore methyl valerate has to be classified as a flammable liquid, Category 3 in the sense of the CLP-Directive.
Reference
Description of key information
Methyl valerate exhibited a flash point of 28 °C measured at 1013 hPa. In another study a flash point of 25.5 °C was obtained at 1013 hPa.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 28 °C
Additional information
In another study a flash point of 25.5 °C was obtained for methyl valerate at 1013 hPa. Thus, methyl valerate is a flammable liquid, Category 3 in the sense of the CLP-Directive.
