Conclusions:
Flash point of Decan-1-ol: 107 °C at atmospheric pressure.
Executive summary:

Decan-1 -ol was determined according ASTM D93/07. The flash point was determined to be 107 °C at atmospheric pressure.

Description of key information

The flash point of decan-1-ol is 107°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
107 °C

Additional information

The flash point of 107°C was determined in a reliable study.

It is supported by a value of 112.8°C, measured in a second reliable study, and a consistent published value of 108 °C.

A flash point of 107°C and boiling point of 229°C indicate that decan-1-ol should not be classified as a flammable liquid 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.
