Reference
Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with national standard methods with acceptable restrictions
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
ISO 2719 (Determination of flash point - Pensky-Martens closed cup method)
GLP compliance:
no
Other quality assurance:
ISO/IEC 17025 (General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories)
Type of method:
closed cup
Flash point apparatus:
Pensky-Martens apparatus
Key result
Flash point:
145 °C
Atm. press.:
1 013 hPa

In the main tests, ignitions were determined at 146 °C and 144 °C. The average value of measurements (to the nearest 0.5 °C) is 145 °C.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The flash point of test substance is 145 °C at 1013 hPa.
Executive summary:

The test was performed as stipulated in DIN EN ISO 2719 Procedure A (closed cup). The test portion was placed in the test cup of a Pensky-Martens apparatus and heated to give a constant temperature increase with continuous stirring. An ignition was directed through an opening in the test cup lid at regular temperature intervals with simultaneous interruption of stirring. The lowest temperature at which the application of the ignition source causes the vapour of the test portion to ignite and propagate over the surface of the liquid is defined as the flash point. This temperature was corrected automatically by the apparatus to standard atmospheric pressure (1013 hPa).

A gas flame was used as the ignition source. Ignitions were visually determined by the tester. In the main tests, ignitions were determined at 146.0 °C and 144.0 °C. The average value of measurements (to the nearest 0.5 °C) is 145.0 °C.

The substance exhibited a flash point of 145.0 °C. In the sense of the CLP-Directive the substance is a non flammable liquid.
