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.
