Description of key information

The mean flash point of test chemical was 120°C at 973.5 hPa

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
120 °C

Additional information

The flash point determination of Test item was done. The method was closed cup method using Pensky-Martens Flash Point Apparatus. The test was conducted in replicates and mean flash point was determined to be 120°C at 973.5 hPa.

Other supporting data from another experimental report, also determined the flash point of test chemical by the closed cup method as 115 deg C at 760 hPa, closer to the selected key study value.

Thus accroding to the experimental values the given chemical was not classified as flammable.
