Reference
Endpoint:
flammable liquids: obsolete as covered by section 'Flash point'
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
- Physical state: Liquid (Clear colourless)
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.
