In the main test the lowest temperature where an ignition was observed was 118.0 °C.

The mean measured flash point is corrected to the ambient pressure to be 118.36 °C.

The resulting average corrected flash point rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.5 °C is 118.0 °C.

Final Results

The test item has a flash point of 118.0 °C (average corrected and rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.5 °C) according to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.9. Flash Point, DIN EN ISO 2719 (2003).

Conclusions:
A flash point value of 118.0 °C (at 1013 hPa) was determined for the test substance according to EU Method A.9.

Description of key information

Flash point: 118.0 °C at 1013 hPa (EU Method A.9, non-equilibrium method closed cup - Pensky-Martens apparatus)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
118 °C
