- Version / remarks:
- 2015
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Type of method:
- equilibrium method closed cup
- Flash point apparatus:
- other: Rapid-Tester
- Key result
- Flash point:
- 94 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 1 013 hPa
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The flash point was determined to be 94 °C at 1013 hPa.
- Executive summary:
The test item has a waxy consistency at room temperature and a melting range of 31 to 44 °C. For safe handling of the test item, not only the flammability of the test item was investigated but also the flash point for the molten state. The flash point of the test item was determined in an experimental study according to Regulation EC No 440/2008 Method A.9 and DIN EN ISO 3679 using the rapid equilibrium method in a closed cup. The mean flash point was determined to be 94 °C at 1013 hPa. Therefore the test item has not to be classified as flammable liquid.

Preliminary test:
Amount of test item / g | Temperature / °C | Ignition (+/-) | Air pressure / hPa |
2.11 | 99.0 | + | 1005.4 |
Main test
Amount of test item / g | Temperature / °C | Ignition (+/-) | Air pressure / hPa |
1.96 | 94.0 | - | 1005 hPa to 1006 hPa |
2.01 | 95.0 | + | |
2.03 | 94.5 | - | |
2.03 | 94.5 | + | |
2.07 | 94.0 | + | |
2.03 | 89.0 | - | |
2.06 | 90.0 | - | |
2.12 | 91.0 | - | |
2.06 | 92.0 | - | |
2.13 | 93.0 | - | |
1.98 | 93.5 | - | |
2.03 | 93.5 | - | |
2.06 | 93.5 | - |
In the main test the lowest temperature where an ignition was observed was 94.0 °C.
The measured flash point is corrected to standard pressure of 1013 hPa to be 94.2 °C.
The resulting corrected flash point rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.5 °C is 94.0 °C.
Description of key information
The flash point was determined to be 94 °C at 1013 hPa.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 94 °C
