Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
08 June 2017
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline

Key result
Atm. press.:
97 kPa
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
305 °C
Remarks on result:
not determinable
Remarks:
due to decomposition

The observations were as follows in each test:

At about 305 °C formation of bubbles began in the sample. At the same time the sample began to turn brown continuously, which disturbed the visual observations.

In parallel the rapid formation of small bubbles began, but it did not appear as a typical boiling normally appears.

 

The Main tests were carried out at 97.0 kPa atmospheric pressure.

 

The observations demonstrate that the test item changes colour on heating, indicating decomposition occurs before or in parallel with boiling at normal atmospheric pressure. The definite Boiling Point for the Test Item is ≥ 305 °C but due to decomposition the exact temperature is not definable at normal atmospheric pressure.

Conclusions:
The observations demonstrate that the test item changes colour on heating, indicating decomposition occurs before boiling at normal atmospheric pressure. The definite Boiling Point for the Test Item is not definable at normal atmospheric pressure.
Executive summary:

The boiling point of the test item was determined by the capillary method using a metal heating block. The test item is assessed visually for any possible changes in its appearance, consistency and colour.

 

The observations demonstrate that the test item changes colour on heating, indicating decomposition occurs before boiling at normal atmospheric pressure. The definite Boiling Point for the Test Item is not definable at normal atmospheric pressure.

The Main tests were carried out at 97.0 kPa atmospheric pressure.

The observations demonstrate that the test item changes colour on heating, indicating decomposition occurs before or in parallel with boiling at normal atmospheric pressure. The definite Boiling Point for the Test Item is ≥305 °C but due to decomposition the exact temperature is not definable at normal atmospheric pressure.
