Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
weight of evidence
Study period:
no data
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
data from handbook or collection of data
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Data in this peer-reviewed publication were taken from many sources, including both compilations and primary literature. Where conflicts were found, the value deemed most reliable was chosen for inclusion in the handbook. Reference sources were not provided for this parameter, nor were the experimental method.
GLP compliance:
no

Boiling pt.:
248 °C
Atm. press.:

Although no atmospheric pressure was reported, it was assumed that the value refers to a standard atmospheric pressure of 1013 hPa

Conclusions:
The boiling point under the study conditions was reported to be 248 °C.

Description of key information

Weight of evidence approach based on three peer-reviewed values from handbooks (248, 245.56 and 248 °C) were used to indicate the boiling point of ethylene carbonate.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
247 °C

Additional information

The reported values were in close range, therefore the mean rounded-up value of these values is used. Although in two studies the atmospheric pressure was not reported, it was assumed that the experiments were carried out at a standard atmospheric pressure of 1013 hPa.
