Flash point

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Endpoint:

flash point of flammable liquids

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

22 July 2010

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

test procedure in accordance with generally accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient detail

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

ISO No., other: Pensky Martens Closed Cup apparatus

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Flash point measured using a manual Pensky Martens Closed Cup apparatus. The sample was heated to 150 ºC and an ignition source was introduced. The sample was then heated slowly, with the ignition source re-introduced at 10 ºC intervals, until a flash point was observed.

GLP compliance:

no

Type of method:

closed cup

Key result

Flash point:

> 170 - < 180 °C

Atm. press.:

ca. 101 325 Pa

The sample was observed to flash at 180 ºC.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The flash point of Fatty acids, C12-20 and C12-20-unsatd., 2-ethylhexyl esters is in the range 170-180 ºC.

Executive summary:

The flash point of Fatty acids, C12-20 and C12-20-unsatd., 2-ethylhexyl esters (Lankroplast V3000) Batch 009016 was measured using a manual Pensky Martens Closed Cup apparatus. The sample was heated to 150 ºC, and an ignition source was introduced. The sample was then heated slowly, with the ignition source re-introduced at 10ºC intervals, until a flash point was observed. The sample was observed to flash first at 180 ºC. The flash point of Fatty acids, C12-20 and C12-20-unsatd., 2-ethylhexyl esters is in the range 170-180 ºC.

Description of key information

The flash point of Fatty acids, C12-20 and C12-20-unsatd., 2-ethylhexyl esters is in the range 170-180ºC.
