Executive summary:

The purpose of the study was to determine the physico-chemical properties for MLA-3202.

 

The flash-point of the test item was determined using the closed cup method, in accordance with the following guidelines:

European Community (EC), EC no. 440/2008, Part A: Methods for the Determination of Physico-Chemical Properties, Guideline A.9: “Flash-point”, Official Journal of the European Union no. L142, May 31, 2008.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO), ISO Guide 2719: “Determination of Flash Point – Pensky-Martens closed cup method", 2002.

 

The flash-point of the test item was determined using an Eraflash flash-point tester (Eralytics, Vienna, Austria). The Eraflash tester employs a small volume of test item which reduces the risk of fires or other uncontrolled reactions of substances with an unknown flash point. The test cup was filled with approximately 2 ml test item and placed in the holder of the flashpoint tester. The test cup was put in the measurement chamber and the door was closed. The sample was stirred during heating. The ignition of the sample vapour was performed by an electric arc and ignition was automatically detected by the flash point tester. The flash-point is automatically corrected for atmospheric pressure by the flash point tester.

 

Preliminary test

The test cup was heated at a rate of of 5 ± 0.5°C/minute. Starting at 25°C, an attempt was made to ignite the vapour of the test item for every 2°C temperature rise.

A pressure error occurred at 261°C. The preliminary test was repeated and the same situation occurred at 269°C indicating that the test item does not have a flash point. No flammable vapour/air mixture was produced at temperatures below the temperature when a pressure error was observed.

 

During the measurement, the hot flame of the ignited vapour did not cause an instantaneous pressure increase of at least 20 kPa inside the closed measuring chamber. From this, it was concluded that the test item has no flash point.

 

The closed cup method was applied for the determination of the flash-point of MLA-3202.

No flash-point was observed.

Description of key information

Key value determined in a GLP accredited laboratory study using the closed cup method, in accordance with EU Method A.9, United Nations (UN) Test Methods and Criteria Relating to Class 2, Class 3, Class 4, Division 5.1, Class 8 and Class 9, Paragraph 32.4.1: “Non-Viscous Flammable Liquids”, 2015, ASTM D93, ASTM D7094 and ISO Guide 2719.

No flash-point was observed.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
