Remarks on result:

other:

Remarks:

2-hydroxy-p-toluic acid not ignited when the flame of bunsen burner having temperature of approximately 950°C was brought in contact with it.

Interpretation of results:

other: non flammable

Conclusions:

2-hydroxy-p-toluic acid does not indicate any ignition when the flame of bunsen burner having temperature of approximately 950°C is brought in contact with it. Thus it can be concluded that 2-hydroxy-p-toluic acid is not flammable at high temperature. However since such high temperatures are not found under normal circumstances of transportation and use, thus 2-hydroxy-p-toluic acid was considered non-flammable for chemical safety assessment.

Executive summary:

2-hydroxy-p-toluic acid does not indicate any ignition when the flame of bunsen burner having temperature of approximately 950°C is brought in contact with it. Thus it can be concluded that 2-hydroxy-p-toluic acid is not flammable at high temperature. However since such high temperatures are not found under normal circumstances of transportation and use, thus 2-hydroxy-p-toluic acid was considered non-flammable for chemical safety assessment.
