Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

27.09.2012 - 16.10.2012

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

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

Justification for type of information:

Experimental test result performed using standard test guidelines

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

other: as mentioned below

Principles of method if other than guideline:

It is how easily substance can burn or ignite, causing fire or combustion by brief contact with an ignition source (such as a burning match)

GLP compliance:

not specified

Specific details on test material used for the study:

- Name of test material: 1-phenylethan-1-ol
- IUPAC name: 1-phenylethanol
- Molecular Formula: C8H10O
- Molecular weight: 122.166g/mol
- Smiles: c1(ccccc1)C(C)O
- InChI: 1S/C8H10O/c1-7(9)8-5-3-2-4-6-8/h2-7,9H,1H3
- Substance type: Organic

Key result

Test procedure:

ignition time on contact with air

Remarks:

Ignition on contact with air refers to either Pyrophoric solids or Pyrophoric liquids depending on physical state (migrated information).

Remarks on result:

no ignition on contact with air (not further specified)

Remarks:

corresponding to 'no' in migrated source record. | Remarks: | Additional remarks: 1-phenylethanol ignited at a temperature of 950 degC and thus was non flammable at normal room temperature.

Interpretation of results:

other: non flammable

Conclusions:

From the experimental values of flammability, 1-phenylethanol ignited when the temperature was 950 degC. Thus it can be concluded that 1-phenylethanol is flammable only at high temperature of about 950 degC. However since such high temperatures are not found under normal circumstances of transportation and use, 1-phenylethanol was considered non-flammable.

Executive summary:

From the experimental values of flammability, 1-phenylethanol ignited when the temperature was 950 degC. Thus it can be concluded that 1-phenylethanol is flammable only at high temperature of about 950 degC. However since such high temperatures are not found under normal circumstances of transportation and use, 1-phenylethanol was considered non-flammable.
