2017-01-02 – 2017-01-02

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: Experimental result using standard methods of analysis

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

OECD Guideline 103 (Boiling point/boiling range)

Principles of method if other than guideline:

The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which that liquid is converted to a gaseous state. It can be defined as the temperature at which the vapour pressure of the liquid becomes equal to the pressure at the surface of the liquid.

Method Details	Observations	Remarks if, any
Guideline	OECD 103
Method	Method according to Siwoloboff
Principle of Boiling point test	A sample is heated gradually in a tube which is immersed in a liquid bath. The sample tube is held in close contact with a thermometer and it contains a boiling capillary which is fused about1 cm above its lower end. Upon approach of the boiling temperature bubbles emerge rapidly from the lower open end of the capillary. The boiling temperature is that temperature at which, on momentary cooling, the string of bubbles stops and liquid suddenly rises in the capillary.

Conclusions:

The boiling point determination of Test item octyl acetate (CAS No. 112-14-1 ) was done as per the test guideline OECD 103. The method followed was according to Siwoloboff. The mean boiling point was determined to be 199.6°C at 977.3 hPa.

Executive summary:

The boiling point determination of Test item octyl acetate (CAS No. 112-14-1 ) was done as per the test guideline OECD 103. The method followed was according to Siwoloboff. The mean boiling point was determined to be 199.6°C at 977.3 hPa.

Description of key information

The boiling point determination of Test item octyl acetate (CAS No. 112-14-1 ) was done as per the test guideline OECD 103. The method followed was according to Siwoloboff. The mean boiling point was determined to be 199.6°C at 977.3 hPa.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:

199.6 °C

Additional information

In an experiment conducted by SSS(Europe)AB,the boiling point determination of chemical octyl acetate (CAS No. 112-14-1 ) was done as per the test guideline OECD 103. The method followed was according to Siwoloboff. The mean boiling point was determined to be 199.6°C at 977.3 hPa.

Other supporting studies from various reliable sources such as handbook and authoritative database also suggests that the boiling point of chemical Octyl acetate was reported to be in the range of 208 degree C to 212 degree C .

As the data from lab has K1 reliability and the test was performed using OECD guidelines which has the value of boiling point temperature as 199.6 degree C thus considered as key study for the chemical safety assessment.
