Executive summary:

The flash point determination of Test item Pentyl formate (CAS No. 638 -49 -3 )was done. The method is closed cup method using Abels Flash Point Apparatus. The mean flash point of the test item was found to be 33°C at 972.7 hPa.

Description of key information

The flash point determination of Pentyl formate (CAS No. 638-49-3)was done following closed cup method using Abels flash point apparatus. The test was conducted in replicates and mean flash point was found to be 33°C at 972.7hPa.

Hence,on the basis of above flash point and initial boiling point value,the chemical pentyl formate was considered to be classified as flammable liquid category 3 in accordance with CLP regulation.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
33 °C

Additional information

The flash point determination of Pentyl formate (CAS No. 638-49-3)was done following closed cup method using Abels flash point apparatus. The test was conducted in replicates and mean flash point was found to be 33°C at 972.7hPa.

With these study flash point of pentyl formate is determined from other reliable source is 26.66 Deg C and 25 Deg C.

Hence,on the basis of above flash point and initial boiling point value,the chemical pentyl formate was considered to be classified as flammable liquid category 3 in accordance with CLP regulation.
