Any other information on results incl. tables

In a study according to test method ASTM D6450 -99, the flash point was determined to be 158°C (see section 4.11), which is considerably higher than the criteria for classification as a flammable liquid (<=60°C according to CLP Regulation and <=55°C according to Directive 67/548/EEC).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
non flammable
Remarks:
Migrated information according to EU criteria
Conclusions:
The test substance has a flash point of 158°C and is non flammable.

Executive summary:

The flammability of the test substance is given by its flash point. The test substance has a flash point of 158°C°C in a test according to ASTM method D6450 -99 and is non flammable according to EU criteria.
