Additional information

Key study : EU Method A.9, 2015 : The flash point was determined using EU Method A.9 closed cup equilibrium method under GLP. The Eraflash tester employs a small volume of test item which reduces the risk of fires or other uncontrolled reactions of substances with an unknown flash point. The measured flash-point is automatically corrected for atmospheric pressure by the Eraflash flash point tester. The test was performed according to the ASTM D93c method, validated every 2 years with the use of reference substances. The test cup was filled with approximately 2 ml test item and placed in the holder of the flash-point tester. The test cup was put in the measurement chamber and the door was closed. The test cup was heated with a temperature rise of approximately 5°C/minute. The sample was stirred during heating. The ignition of the sample vapour was performed by an electric arc and ignition was automatically be detected by the flash point tester. The flash point of the test item has been determined to be 115 ± 2 °C at atmospheric pressure.
