Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
11 July 2017 - 25 September 2017
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Remarks:
Study was conducted in accordance with international guidelines and in accordance with GLP. All guideline validity criteria were met.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
Version / remarks:
Regulation (EC) 440/2008 of 30 May 2008
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
ISO 2719 (Determination of flash point - Pensky-Martens closed cup method)
Version / remarks:
June 2016
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
closed cup
Flash point apparatus:
Pensky-Martens apparatus
Remarks:
PMA 5, Anton-Paar
Dynamic viscosity of test material:
Viscosity is not a REACH data requirement for Registrations below Annex IX. In the absence of a prescribed data requirement, dynamic viscosity was assessed using expert judgement. The test item was deemed to have a dynamic viscosity less than 5 Pa s.
Key result
Atm. press.:
>= 98 - <= 104.7 kPa
Remarks on result:
other: Not determined, due to foaming of the test item.
Remarks:
The test item started to foam at approximately 80 °C.
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
No flash point occured prior to the test item starting to foam (approximately 80 °C).
Conclusions:
Prior to the onset of foaming, a flash point for the test item had not been determined. As foaming occured at approximately 80 °C, it is possible to conclude that the test item does not meet current CLP or CHS criteria for classification as a flammable liquid.
Executive summary:

EU Method A.9. - The flash point of the test item was sought using the Pensky-Martens closed cup method.  The procedure employed was designed to be compatible with Method A.9. Flash Point of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

The test item was subject to a preliminary test an indicative flash point.  The test item was stirred at 115 rpm and heated at a rate of 5 – 6 °C/min from ambient temperature.  Ignition trials were performed at 5 °C above the starting temperature and then at intervals of 2 °C until detection.  The test was stopped due to foaming of the test item and repeated to confirm this result.

The flash point of the test item could not be determined due to foaming of the test item at approximately 80 °C.  No flash point was recorded prior to the onset of foaming.

The test item cannot be categorised in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (Classification Labelling and Packaging) of 16 December 2008.
