Test flame enlarged and turned a bright yellow when presented to the sample above 46°C. Upon ignition a bright yellow flame spread throughout the cup.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The flash point of mmt was determined to be 94°C
Executive summary:

The determination was carried out using a closed cup flash point in accordance with Method A9 Flash Point of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008. The flash point of mmt was determined to be 94°C.

Description of key information

The flash point of mmt was determined to be 94°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
94 °C
