Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
Flash point of aluminium isopropoxide: 26 °C
Executive summary:

The flash point of aluminium isopropoxide is reported as 26 °C at 1 atm in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry.

Description of key information

The value for flash point reported in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry of 26 °C on the substance itself is taken forward for hazard and risk assessment of the substance.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
26 °C

Additional information

Although aluminium tri-isopropylate is a solid substance, for which a flash point determination is not appropriate it is to be taken into consideration that the substance is hygroscopic and upon storage under moisture or in contact with water reacts to form isopropanol. In Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry a flash point for aluminium tri-isopropylate is reported being 26 °C at 1 atm. This is presumably due to isopropanol formed by moisture and is supported by flash point data of isopropanol being approx. 12 °C (cc) according to the Merck Index and CRC Handbook on Chemistry and Physics. The value of 26 °C on the substance itself is taken forward for hazard and risk assessment of the substance.
