Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
closed cup
Flash point apparatus:
Pensky-Martens apparatus
Specific details on test material used for the study:
XRD-535 methyl ester technical grade
Lot # R88-7R
Purity: 96.9-97.0%
Key result
Flash point:
186 °C
Atm. press.:
1 014 other: Mb
Conclusions:
Flash point of the test substance is 186°C (459°K)
Executive summary:

The flash point of technical grade test substance was determined in accordance with Method A9 as contained in Annex V of Directive 84/449/EEC utilizing Pensky-Martens closed cup apparatus. The flash point of the test substance is 186°C (459°K). This flash point puts the test substance outside of the classifications of the packaging and transportation regulations for flammable liquids. It therefore comes under the heading of a combustible liquid.
