In the main test the lowest temperature where an ignition was observed was 154.5 °C.

The measured flash point is corrected to the ambient pressure to be 154.54 °C.

The resulting average corrected flash point rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.5 °C is 154.5 °C.

Description of key information

154.5 °C at ca. 1013 hPa (EU. A.9.)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
154.5 °C

Additional information

The flash point of test item was determined by a equilibrium closed cup method.
