Interpretation of results:
other: Non flammable liquid (CLP Regulation EC no. 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
The flash point of the test item was determined to be 119.5ºC
Executive summary:

The flash point of the test item was determined using the closed cup method and Pensky-Martens apparatus following EU method A.9, under GLP conditions. The test item was exposed to an ignition source directed through an opening in the test cup lid at regular temperature intervals with simultaneous interruption of stirring. The lowest temperature at which the application of the ignition source caused the vapour of the test substance to ignite and propagate over the surface of the liquid, was determined as the flash point at the ambient barometric pressurre. After a preliminary test two repetitions were performed. The flash point of the test item was determined to be 119.5ºC at 101.5 hPa.

Description of key information

Key study. Method according to EU A.9, GLP study. The flash point of the test item was determined to be 119.5ºC.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
119.5 °C
