Description of key information
For this endpoint, one study is available in which the flash point of the test item was determined according to EU Method A.9, closed cup, Pensky-Martens apparatus. The test item was found to have a flash point of 51.6°C at atmospheric pressure (101 325 Pa).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 51.6 °C
Additional information
According to the EU Regulation No. 1272/2008 on the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) the substance is considered to be classified as category 3 flammable liquid because the flash point is ≥ 23 °C and ≤ 60 °C (Table 2.6.1).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
