Pre-test for safety

The test item was heated until 400°C, without showing any signs of boiling or decomposition.

After cooling down the test item was visually like the original test item.

Pre-test

In the pre-test at the temperature of 200.4 °C formation of bubbles and smoke was observed. Therefore, for security reasons the test was stopped and no flash point was detected up to the temperature of 200.4 °C. The determination was considered valid.

No main test was carried out.

Conclusions:
No flash point was detected up to the temperature of 200.4 °C.
Executive summary:

The flash point of the test item was determined according to EU Method A.9, OPPTS 830.6315 and UN Manual Test Methods 32.4.

First, a safety test was performed: approx. 3 mL of the test item was heated with a Bunsen burner up to the temperature of 400 °C. The appearance had not changed after cooling down.

In the pre-test at the temperature of 200.4 °C formation of bubbles and smoke was observed. Therefore, the test was stopped and no flash point was detected up to the temperature of 200.4 °C.
