Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:

Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2018
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The test is conducted in accordance with the procedure described in EU Regulation (EC) 440/2008, Annex Part A test A.2 and OECD Test Guideline 103.

The test is conducted to determine the temperature or temperature range of the phase transition from a liquid to a vapour. The test also determines if the sample undergoes exothermic decomposition.

The test sample is charged to the test crucible which can be high pressure (sealed) gold construction or can be an open (or pierced lid) aluminium cell. An empty cell, used as a reference pan, is similarly prepared. The sample and reference pans are then placed into a furnace which is heated to 25°C. Once the pans have equilibrated with the furnace, the cells are heated at a constant rate (of up to 20 K.min-1) up to 500°C. Microcomputer data logging is used to monitor the power output of the sample and the temperature in the oven.

Boiling pt.:
>= 321.12 - <= 323.04 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 101 kPa
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
ca. 321.12 °C
Conclusions:
According to the DSC method, the boiling point of SCMI was determined to be within the range 321.12 - 323.04°C (4 runs). Mean average boiling point is 321.9°C.
Executive summary:

An initial test to determine the boiling point of SCMI was conducted using the Siwoloboff method. Howver, no boiling was observed at 250°C, therefore the test was terminated and the test was continued using the differential scanning colorimetry (DSC) method.

According to the DSC method, the boiling point of SCMI was determined to be within the range 321.12 - 323.04°C (4 runs). Mean average boiling point is 321.9°C. However, on completion of testing blackening was observed on the lid of the pan which indicates the sample may have actually decomposed rather than boiled.

Type of method:
differential scanning calorimetry
Boiling pt.:

Decomposition:
ambiguous
Remarks on result:
other: A result of 310.5°C was obtained for the onset of the decomposition event
Conclusions:
In a study performed to OECD 103, using DSC to obtain the boiling point of SLMI, it was found that the material undergoes decomposition before boiling. It had a profile consistent with a thermal decomposition event. A result of 310.5°C was obtained for the onset of the decomposition event.
Executive summary:

In a study using DSC to obtain the boiling point of SLMI, it was found that the material undergoes decomposition before boiling. The sample did not exhibit typical boiling point behaviour but had a profile consistent with a thermal decomposition event. A result of 310.5°C was obtained for the onset of the decomposition event.

Description of key information

An initial test to determine the boiling point of SCMI was conducted using the Siwoloboff method. Howver, no boiling was observed at 250°C, therefore the test was terminated and the test was continued using the differential scanning colorimetry (DSC) method.

According to the DSC method, the boiling point of SCMI was determined to be within the range 321.12 - 323.04°C (4 runs). Mean average boiling point is 321.9°C. However, on completion of testing blackening was observed on the lid of the pan which indicates the sample may have actually decomposed rather than boiled.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
