Reference

Endpoint:

flash point of flammable liquids

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

July 14, 2008 - September 01, 2008

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EPA OPPTS 830.6315 (Flammability)

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

ISO 2719 (Determination of flash point - Pensky-Martens closed cup method)

Principles of method if other than guideline:

A preliminary test was performed using the Pensky-Martens flash point tester to determine the range of the flash point. The heat was supplied at such rate that the temperature, as indicated by the thermometer, increased about 8.5 K/min. An attempt was made to ignite the vapour of the test item at each temperature that was a multiple of 5 K starting at room temperature. Because no flash point was determined in the preliminary test, no main test was performed with the Pensky-Martens flash point tester.

GLP compliance:

yes (incl. QA statement)

Type of method:

closed cup

Flash point apparatus:

Pensky-Martens apparatus

Specific details on test material used for the study:

Batch No. 512051

Colourless liquid
Expiry date: December 2008

Key result

Remarks on result:

no flash point according to standard method

A flash point could not be determined. In a preliminary test, no flash point of the test item was detected up to 340 °C. At approximately 280 °C, the escaping smoke started burning at the ignition source. No flash point could be observed.

Conclusions:

A flash point could not be determined. No flash point of Dermosoft DGMC, reaction mass of 3-(2,3-dihydroxypropoxy)-2-hydroxypropyl decanoate and 1-(2,3-dihydroxypropoxy)-3-hydroxypropan-2-yl decanoate was detected up to 340 °C.

Executive summary:

The flash point of Dermosoft DGMC, reaction mass of 3-(2,3-dihydroxypropoxy)-2-hydroxypropyl decanoate and 1-(2,3-dihydroxypropoxy)-3-hydroxypropan-2-yl decanoate was determined using the Pensky-Martens closed flash point tester in a guideline study (EU method A.9, EPA OPPTS 830.6315 and ISO 2719) following GLP.

A flash point could not be determined. In a preliminary test, no flash point of the test item was detected up to 340 °C.

Description of key information

A flash point could not be determined. No flash point of Dermosoft DGMC, reaction mass of 3-(2,3-dihydroxypropoxy)-2-hydroxypropyl decanoate and 1-(2,3-dihydroxypropoxy)-3-hydroxypropan-2-yl decanoate was detected up to 340 °C.
