Atmospheric pressure = 100.13 kPa

Corrected flash point = 48.275 °C

Interpretation of results:
Category 3 (flammable liquids) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The flash point of the test item has been determined to be 48 °C.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to Directive 92/69/EEC method A.9 to determine flash point of the test item using a equilibrium closed cup method. Aliquotes of 2 mL test item were introduced in the Setaflash tester. Measurements were performed at 45, 46, 47 and 48 °C. The measured flash point at atmospheric pressure was corrected to a standard pressure of 1013 hPa. The flash point was determined to be at 48.275 °C (corrected to the ambient pressure). Thus, the flash point of the test item was determined to be 48.0 °C (rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.5 °C) at 1013.25 hPa.

Description of key information

The flash point of the test item has been determined to be 48 °C (reference 4.11-1).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
