- 1 atm
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 3 (flammable liquids) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The flash point of methyl (S)-lactate is 57 °C at atmospheric pressure.
- Executive summary:
In accordance with ISO 2719 and ASTM 93 guidelines, the flash point of methyl (S)-lactate was determined by using the closed-cup method. The flash point of the test substance is 57 °C at atmospheric pressure.
Based on these results and the underlying classification criteria in the CLP Regulation, methyl (S)-lactate shall be classified as Flam. Liquid 3, H226.
