ca. 101.3 kPa
Remarks on result:
other: Mean of the two determinations

Results:

Pre-test:

The flash point of the test item was estimated at 53.0°C during the pre-test.

First determination:

The flash point of the test item was estimated at 53.0°C during the first determination.

An automatic correction was applied to the obtained result because the ambient pressure was not 101.3 kPa but 102.2 kPa.

With this correction, the flash point value is still 53°C at 101.3 kPa.

Second determination:

The flash point was detected at 53.0°C and the same automatic correction was applied because the ambient pressure was still 102.2 kPa.

With this correction, the flash point value is still 53°C at 101.3 kPa.

Interpretation of results:
Category 3 (flammable liquids) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The corrected flash point of REACTION MASS OF DL-LIMONENE, ALPHA- GAMMA- TERPINENES, TERPINOLENE is 53.0°C at 101.3 kPa (lowest value of two independent determinations). Therefore, the substance is classified as flammable (R10) according to Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD) and as flammable liquid cat. 3 according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP).
Executive summary:

A study was performed to determine the flash point of the test item REACTION MASS OF DL-LIMONENE, ALPHA- GAMMA- TERPINENES, TERPINOLENE. The method followed was designed to be compliant with the Method A.9 of Commission Regulation No. 440/2008, ''Flash Point''.

The flash point of the test item is determined with a closed cup tester, by an equilibrium method called "Small Scale", (commonly known as Setaflash).

The substance is placed into a test cup and heated using a temperature gradient program. Ignition trials are carried out in order to ascertain whether or not the sample flashes at the temperature tested.

A pre-test followed by two determinations were conducted. For the pre-test, a flash point of 53.0°C was observed. This data was used to select the range of temperatures for the following determinations.

Determinations 1 and 2 both gave a corrected flash point of 53.0°C at 101.3kPa.

The corrected flash point of the test item was determined to be 53.0°C at 101.3 kPa (lowest value of two independent determinations).

Therefore, the substance is classified as flammable (R10) according to Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD) and as flammable liquid cat. 3 according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP).

Key result
Flash point:
50.4 °C
Atm. press.:
1 atm
Conclusions:
The flash point of substance REACTION MASS OF DL-LIMONENE, ALPHA- GAMMA- TERPINENES, TERPINOLENE was determined to be 50.4°C.
The substance is classified as flammable (R10) according to Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD) and as flammable liquid cat. 3 according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP).
Executive summary:

The determination of the flash point was performed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, method A.9 “Flash Point” (May 2008) and the Standard Test Method ASTM D 3828-97.

The flash point was measured with a closed cup tester by an equilibrium method "Small Scale", commonly known as Setaflash where the vapours are deemed to be in temperature equilibrium with the liquid.

Two measurements were performed.

The flash point of Substance REACTION MASS OF DL-LIMONENE, ALPHA- GAMMA- TERPINENES, TERPINOLENE was determined to be 50.4°C. Therefore, the substance is classified as flammable (R10) according to Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD) and as flammable liquid cat. 3 according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP).

Description of key information

The flash point was determined with a closed cup tester by the Setaflash method.
The flash point of dipentene multiconstituent is 53°C.

The substance is classified as flammable (R10) according to Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD) and as flammable liquid cat. 3 according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
53 °C

Additional information

The flash point of dipentene multiconstituent was determined in a study performed according to EU method A.9.

As the results were obtained under GLP without deviation, they were considered as valid and reliable without restriction and used as key value.

This result is supported by a second study conducted on the substance but not under GLP.
