Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Results and discussion

Flash point
Key result
Flash point:
> 192 - < 196 °C
Atm. press.:
102.1 kPa

Any other information on results incl. tables

The flash point is the lowest temperature at 101.3 kPa, at which the test liquid in a closed test vessel evolves vapors, under the conditions defined in the test method, in such amount that a flammable vapor / air mixture was produced in the test vessel.

The flash point was corrected for the atmospheric pressure using the following equation:

Corrected flash point = C + 0.23 (101.325 - p)

where:

C = observed flash point [°C]

p = ambient atmospheric pressure [kPa]

The flashes at 77 and 157 °C could not be repeated with fresh samples therefore they are not considered to be the flash point of the test item.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The flash point of the test item was determined to be 194 ± 2 °C.
Executive summary:

The flash point of the test item was determined to be 194 ± 2 °C using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A.9 Flash Point of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.
