With Normalab apparatus

Temperature (°C)			Flash observation
Observed temperature (OT)	Corrected temperature with the calibration curve (CT)	Corrected to Patm (C)
142.5	139.5	140.0	Yes
132.3	129.5	130.0	No

The flash point was observed between 135.0°C and 140.0°C (corrected values).

 

Main test

Atmospheric pressure: 98.7 kPa

Relative humidity: About 32%

Temperature (°C)			Flash observation
Observed temperature (OT)	Corrected temperature with the calibration curve (CT)	Corrected to Patm (C)
137.4	134.5	135.0	No
138.4	135.5	136.0	Yes

 

Conclusion

The flash point of the test item was 136.0°C ± 1.0°C (corrected value).

 

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

A flash point of 136.0°C ± 1.0°C (corrected value) at 101.3 kPa was determined for the substance using a relevant test method and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable.

Description of key information

Flash point: 136°C at 1013 hPa (ISO 3679)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:

136 °C

Additional information

A measured flash point of 136°C at 1013 hPa was determined for the registered substance using a rapid equilibrium closed-cup method in accordance with ISO 3679 Test Method and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable and is selected as key study.

The key study is supported by another measured flash point value of 135.5°C at 1013 hPa using a closed-cup method according to ISO 2719 and in compliance with ISO 9001:2008.

In available secondary sources to which reliability could not be assigned, flash point values of 110°C, 112°C and 122°C at 1013 hPa were reported for the substance.

Variations in flash point results could be as a result of variations in the purity of the test substance and the test method used.

A flash point of 136°C and a measured boiling point of 260.4°C, indicate that the substance should not be classified as a flammable liquid according to the criteria of Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
