Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: ASTM D7094: “Standard Test Method for Flash Point by Modified Continuously Closed Cup (MCCCFP) Tester”
Version / remarks:
2012
Deviations:
not specified
Principles of method if other than guideline:
remark of reviewer:
Although ASTM D7094 (modified continuously closed cup) is not mentioned in the EC A.9 guideline, this method is a commonly used and safer (low sample volume) alternative for the ISO 2719 Pensky-Martens closed cup method.
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
non-equilibrium method closed cup
Flash point apparatus:
other: Eraflash (Eralytics, Austria)
Remarks:
similar principle as Setaflash apparatus
Dynamic viscosity of test material:
no data

C7H10O3
IUPAC Name:
5-hydroxy-4-propyl-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-one
Test material form:
liquid: viscous
Details on test material:
- Appearance: Brown viscous liquid

Results and discussion

Flash point
Key result
Flash point:
15 °C
Remarks on result:
other: mean of 2 measurements

Any other information on results incl. tables

Test 1: 16°C

Test 2: 15°C

As the difference between the results is ≤ 2°C, the lowest flash point value obtained was reported as the flash point of the substance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Category 2 (highly flammable liquids)
Remarks:
As boiling of the substance was not observed below or at 35 degrees Celsius in reliable DSC experiments, Category 2 is considered applicable.
Conclusions:
The flash-point of the substance was determined to be 15°C (at 1013 hPa).
