Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Justification for type of information:
For details and justification of read-across please refer to the read-across report attached to IUCLID section 13.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Key result
Remarks on result:
no flash point according to standard method
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No flash point could be determined for the test item.
Executive summary:

The flash point was of the test item was determined according to EN ISO 3679. For ignition a natural gas flame was used. No ignition was observed visually. The sample was tempered to 5 °C for the test according to EN ISO 3679.

The given value is the mean of 3 measurements. No flash point could be determined for the test item.

The investigations have been carried out at the following ambient conditions:

- Ambient temperature: 29 °C

- Ambient pressure: 100.7 kPa

This information is used in a read-across approach in the assessment of the target substance. For details and justification of read-across please refer to the read-across report attached to IUCLID section 13.

Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Justification for type of information:
This information is used in a read-across approach in the assessment of the target substance. For details and justification of read-across please refer to the read-across report attached to IUCLID section 13.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

Flash point:
>= 74 °C
Atm. press.:
1 atm
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The flash point of crystalline lactic acid is > 74 °C.
Executive summary:

In this study, the flash point of lactic acid was reported to be > 74 °C, i.e. no flash point could be observed.

This information is used in a read-across approach in the assessment of the target substance. For details and justification of read-across please refer to the read-across report attached to IUCLID section 13.

Description of key information

The flash point of the racemate lactic acid (CAS 50-21-5) was determined by method EN ISO 3679. For ignition a natural gas flame was used. No ignition was observed visually. Thus, no flashpoint could be determined for the test item.

For details and justification of read-across please refer to the read-across report attached to IUCLID section 13.
