Key result
Flash point:
212 °C
Atm. press.:
101.325 kPa

RESULTS/CONCLUSION

 

The flash point corrected to 101.325 kPa was determined to be 212 ⁰C +/- 2 ⁰C based on the three results presented in Table XII-1. Ambient atmospheric pressure was 97.5 kPa.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The flash point corrected to 101.325 kPa was determined to be 212 ⁰C +/- 2 ⁰C based on the three results presented in Table XII-1. Ambient atmospheric pressure was 97.5 kPa.

Description of key information

The flash point was determined using a closed cup non-equilibrium method with a Setaflash 70000-0 high temperature instrument. The method conforms to ASTM 3278.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
212 °C
