Conclusions:
A reliable value for the flash point is reported to be 148 °C at 1013 hPa (Pensky-Martens closed cup) according to ASTM D. 93-52. A second investigation showed a flash point of 160 °C at 1013 hPa (Cleveland open cup) according to ASTM D. 92-52.
Executive summary:

A reliable value for the flash point is reported to be 148 °C at 1013 hPa (Pensky-Martens closed cup) according to ASTM D. 93-52. A second investigation showed a flash point of 160 °C at 1013 hPa (Cleveland open cup) according to ASTM D. 92-52.

Description of key information

Flashpoint: > 110 °C at 1013 hPa (reliable handbook data, Brandes E, Möller W (2003), LITSU04-0190)
Reliable data: FP: 148 °C at 1013 hPa (Pensky-Martens closed-cup method) according to ASTM D. 93-52 (Elf Atochem, (1971).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The flash point of Dodecyl methacrylate is reported to be > 110 °C at 1013 hPa assumed (closed cup). (reliable handbook data), Brandes E, Möller W (2003), LITSU04-0190. This value is supported by an other reliable study with dodecyl methacrylate FP: 148 °C at 1013 hPa (Pensky-Martens closed-cup method) according to ASTM D. 93-52 (Elf Atochem, (1971).
