- Key result
- Flash point:
- 116.5 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 1 013 hPa
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:

Description of key information
Flash point: 116.5°C at 1013 hPa (ISO 2719)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 116.5 °C
Additional information
Two reliable measured flash point studies are available for the substance from the same author (Haas 2016), conducted in compliance with a known quality system (ISO 9001:2008). A flash point value of 116.5°C at 1013 hPa was determined for the substance using a closed-cup method in accordance with ISO 2719 Test Method. Similarly, a limit flash point value of >110°C at 1013 hPa was also determined for the substance using a rapid equilibrium closed-cup method in accordance with ISO 3679 Test Method. The non-equilibrium closed-cup method is selected as key study because it is not a limit value.
A result of 107°C (using the standard method ASTM D-93) was reported for the substance in a secondary source (MSDS) to which reliability could not be assigned.
A measured flash point of 116.5°C at 1013 hPa and measured boiling point of 267.7°C at 1013 hPa indicate that the substance should not be classified for flammability in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
