Main study

- Experiment 1: An endothermic effect was observed between 250°C and 350°C. The endothermic effect was probably obtained due to boiling of the test item.

- Experiment 2: A duplicate DSC was performed to determine the duplicate melting and boiling temperatures of the test item. A lower cooling rate of -1°C/minute and a higher heating rate of 50°C/minute was used from 25°C with more test item. The endothermic peak had not shifted to higher temperatures. It demonstrated that boiling of the test item caused the endothermic effect. The extrapolated onset temperature of the boiling peak was 340.411°C. Since a higher heating rate was used the extrapolated onset temperature of the boiling peak was not used for calculation of the boiling temperature.

- Experiment 3: Using conditions similar to Experiment 2, from 250°C, an endothermic peak was observed. The extrapolated onset of the boiling peak was 338.063°C.

- Experiment 4: Similar results as in Experiment 3 were obtained. The extrapolated onset of the boiling peak was 338.372°C.

The mean result of experiment 3 and 4 was considered to be the boiling point: 338.2°C (611.4K).

Conclusions:

The boiling temperature of the test item has been determined to be 338.2 ± 0.5 °C (or 611.4 ± 0.5 K).

Executive summary:

The boiling temperature was examined using OECD TG 103 and EU Method A.2. with the Differential Scanning Calorimetry method under GLP. The guideline defines the standard boiling temperature as the temperature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid is the same as the standard pressure (i.e. 1013.25 hPa). The boiling temperature of the test item were determined as the mean boiling temperature obtained from two experiments; from which the thermal events for each individual DSC-runs were within ±0.5°C of the determined mean. The mean boiling point was 338.2 ± 0.5 °C (611.4 ± 0.5 K).
