Preliminary test

The test conditions were:

Atmospheric pressure of about 98.4 kPa

Relative humidity of about 58%  

 

The preliminary test results are given inthe following table. At 110.0 °C, the test item boiled and overflowed out of the cup just before the introduction of the flame. The test was therefore terminated.

Main test

Considering the observations of the preliminary test at 110.0 °C, no main tests were performed.

 

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No flash point was observed up to 110.0 °C (corrected value).
Executive summary:

In this study (2012), the determination of the flash point of the reaction mass potassium trifluoromethanesulfinate and potassium trifluoroacetate was performed according to the guideline EU A9.

No flash point was observed up to 110.0 °C (corrected value).

Based on this result, the reaction mass of TFSK/TFAK is not classified for flammability.

Description of key information

The flash point of the reaction mass in aqueous solution is higher than 110°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

One experimental study performed according to the EC A9 method is available on the reaction mass of potassium trifluoromethanesulphinate and potassium trifluoroacetate in aqueous solution. 

At 110 °C, the test item boiled and overflowed out of the cup just before the introduction of the flame. The test was therefore terminated and the flash point is considered to be higher than 110°C. Therefore, the aqueous solution of the reaction mass is non-flammable.
