> 215 °C
Remarks on result:
no flash point - measurement carried out until boiling temperature

Pre-Test for Safety

Formation of bubbles was observed at 302.5 °C. The chain of the bubbles broke at 215 °C. The test item became darker. After cooling down, no further changes of the test item were observed.

No flash point was detected.

 

No flash point was observed during the pre-test. Therefore, the test was ended.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No flash point was observed for the test item until 215 °C (boiling point) under the test conditions.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.9 and ISO 2719 to determine the flash point of the test item using a closed cup method with Pensky-Martens apparatus. First, a safety test was performed: approx. 3 mL of the test item were heated with a Bunsen burner up to 302.5 °C. The boiling point was observed at a temperature of 215 °C. The test item became slightly darker. After cooling down no further changes were observed. In the pre-test, no flash point was detected. Heating was performed up to 215 °C. At this temperature, boiling was observed and the experiment was stopped. Therefore, no flash point could be stated for the test item.

Description of key information

No flash point was observed for the test item until 215 °C (boiling point) under the test conditions.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
