Rotation Speed of the Sample Stirrer: 100 rpm
Expected Flash Point of Sample: 195.0°C
Measurement
(repeat determination)
Temperature of Initial Ignition Source Application: 170.0°C / 170.0°C
Atmospheric Pressure: 102.8 kPa / 102.3 kPa
Flash Point (Uncorrected): 179.4°C / 176.7°C
Flash Point (Corrected): 179.0°C / 176.5°C
Description of key information
The flash point of a commercial sample of icosan-1-ol is 176°C at 1013 hPa.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 176 °C
Additional information
A flash point value of 176°C at 1013 hPa was determined for icosan-1-ol with use of non-equilibrium closed-cup method in accordance with ASTM-D93. The result is considered to be reliable and is selected as key study.
It is supported by an open cup flash point value of 194°C at 1013 hPa measured in a separate test.
A flash point value of 176°C indicates that icosan-1-ol should not be classified for flammability in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
Discussion of trends in the Category of C6-24 linear and essentially-linear aliphatic alcohols:
The flash point of Category substances follow a predictable trend of increasing flash point temperature with increasing chain length together with increasing boiling point and decreasing vapour pressure.
