Key result

Test procedure:

other: Not specified

Remarks on result:

other: (2E)-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yl propanoate 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:

(2E)-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yl propanoate 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 (2E)-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yl propanoate is not flammable at high temperature. However since such high temperatures are not found under normal circumstances of transportation and use, thus (2E)-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yl propanoate was considered non-flammable for chemical safety assessment.

Executive summary:

(2E)-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yl propanoate 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 (2E)-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yl propanoate is not flammable at high temperature. However since such high temperatures are not found under normal circumstances of transportation and use, thus (2E)-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yl propanoate was considered non-flammable for chemical safety assessment.
