Additional information

A flash point was reported in a key study conducted according to EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point). The flash point was not corrected to standard atmospheric pressure due to a malfunction in the atmospheric pressure measurement device. The flash point was reported to be 68 °C at 95.79 kPa - 103.93 kPa. Historical data of atmospheric pressure at the testing facility, covering the period 02 January 2008 to 31 December 2008, was used to obtain the highest and lowest atmospheric pressure values over this period. The flash point was then corrected to standard atmospheric pressure, using the lowest atmospheric value (95.79 kPa) and the highest atmospheric pressure value (103.93 kPa). The resulting pair of corrected flash point values were within ± 2 °C of the observed flash point.

In 2001 the American ACGIH reported a flash point value of 79.4°C. The result was sourced from a secondary source which has been subject to peer-review and which is recommended for use in chemical safety assessment by the ACGIH. The result is considered to be reliable. In addition, a

flash point value of 155°C was reported in a well-documented company study which meets generally accepted scientific principles. The original reference was not available for review and no further information is available. Consequently, the reliability of the data is with restriction.

The result from the key study is considered to be most reliable and is used in this assessment.
