- Executive summary:
The flash point was determined using EU Method A.9: closed cup equilibrium method. An aliquot of the test item was transferred to the sample cup of the Setaflash tester. Atmospheric pressure was 995 hPa. Measurements were corrected to 101.325 kPa pressure. The flash point of the test substance has been determined to be 122 ± 2 °C at 101.325 kPa.
