Description of key information
Flash point: 79 ± 2°C at 1013 hPa (ISO 3679)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 79 °C
Additional information
A measured flash point value of 79 ± 2°C at 1013 hPa was determined for the substance using a rapid equilibrium closed-cup method in accordance with ISO 3679 and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable.
A measured flash point of 79 ± 2°C and a boiling point value of 271.5°C indicate that the substance should not be classified for flammability in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008. However, in accordance with the Global Harmonized System of classification and labelling of Chemicals, the substance is classified as a Combustible liquid Category 4.
