Study period:
From 01 July 2015 to 26 July 2016.
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
reference to other study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
Version / remarks:
2008
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: ASTM D7094: “Standard Test Method for Flash Point by Modified Continuously Closed Cup (MCCCFP) Tester”
Version / remarks:
2012
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
other: modified continuously closed cup
Flash point apparatus:
other: Eraflash (Eralytics, Austria)
Dynamic viscosity of test material:
no data
Specific details on test material used for the study:
No boiling point. Decomposition from 225 °C.
Flash point:
339 °C
Atm. press.:
1 013 hPa
Remarks on result:
other: Estimated value from a single measurement
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The flash point of the substance PEMP product was estimated to be 339°C.
Executive summary:

The flash point at 1013 hPa was determined using the modified continuously closed cup in a GLP study according to EC A.9 and ASTM D7094. The flash point was estimated in a single test to be 339°C. Because this is > 200°C, no further tests were performed.

Description of key information

 Estimated flash point: 339°C (EC A.9, ASTM D7094: modified continuously closed cup) 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
339 °C

Additional information

The flash point was estimated to be > 200°C. According to Annex VII to REACH, the flash point study is not required when the estimated flash point is above 200°C. Therefore no further tests were performed.
