Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Data waiving:
study technically not feasible
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the flash point is only relevant to liquids and low melting point solids
Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
comparable to guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

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
Flash point:
> 125 - < 135 °C
Atm. press.:
1 atm
Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
The substance is provided as a 40% dilution in demineralized water. Testing “as is” resulted in boil out once the temperature exceeded 100°C. The substance was dried at 105°C to remove as much water as possible and then placed in the tester. The flame was passed across the cup every 2°C (temperature of the substance was raised at a rate of 5°C per minute). Flash point was recorded at the first sign of a flash. Flame point was recorded when the sample ignited and continued to burn for 5 seconds.
It was concluded from study observations that a concentrated water solution has a flash point of 125-135°C.

Description of key information

The test item is a solid that is imported as a 40% solution in water. It was concluded from study observations that a concentrated water solution has a flash point of 125-135°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
