Description of key information
Flash point: 54°C at 1013 hPa (ISO 3679)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 54 °C
Additional information
A measured flash point value of 54°C at 1013 hPa was determined for the substance using a rapid equilibrium closed-cup method in accordance with ISO 3679 and in compliance with a known quality system (ISO 9001:2008). The result is considered to be reliable and is selected as key study.
In available secondary sources to which reliability could not be assigned, flash point values of 37.2 - 54°C at 1013 hPa were reported for the substance.
A flash point of 54°C at 1013 hPa and a measured boiling point of 167.3°C at 1013 hPa, indicate that the substance should be classified as a flammable liquid according to the criteria of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
