In the main test the lowest temperature where an ignition was observed was 103.0 °C.

The mean measured flash point is corrected to the ambient pressure to be 103.22 °C.

The resulting average corrected flash point rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.5 °C is 103.0 °C.

 

Final Results

The test item has a flash point of 103.0 °C (average corrected and rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.5 °C) according to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.9. Flash Point, DIN EN ISO 2719 (2003).

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
A flash point value of 103.0 °C (at 1013 hPa) was determined for the test substance according to EU Method A.9.
