Description of key information
Flash point [tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol]: 73°C (ISO 3679)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 73 °C
Additional information
A measured flash point of 73±2°C was determined for the substance in accordance with ISO 3679 and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable and was selected as key study. This value is supported by flash point value of 183°F (83.9°C) which was reported for the substance in a peer reviewed source and in which the original sources are traceable. Similarly, a flash point of 75°C using an open cup method was reported for tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol in two secondary sources to which no reliability could be assigned.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
