Results and discussion

Flash point
Key result
Flash point:
187.17 °C
Atm. press.:
100.6 kPa
Remarks on result:
no flash point up to 100°C

Any other information on results incl. tables

The flash point is the lowest temperature at 101.3 kPa, at which the test liquid in a closed test vessel evolves vapor, under the conditions defined in the test method, in such amount that a flammable vapor / air mixture was produced in the test vessel.

The flash point was corrected for the atmospheric pressure using the following equation:

Equation 1 Corrected flash point = C + 0.23 (101.325 - p)

where: C = observed flash point [°C]

p = ambient atmospheric pressure [kPa].

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The flash point of the test item has been determined to be 187 ± 2 °C, which does not meet the criteria for flash point hazardous properies.
Executive summary:

The flash point of the test item has been determined to be 187 ± 2 °C, using a closed cup equilibrium method designed to be compatible with Method A.9 Flash Point of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.
