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.

Description of key information

In a Thermogravimetric Analysis test (TGA, Chevron ILT Test 10301), the TGA analysis indicated:
5% loss @ 189 °C
50% loss @ 246 °C
95% loss @ 270 °C
The TGA testing procedure (conducted in a nitrogen atmosphere) attempts to estimate volatility upon heating in a non-oxidizing atmosphere.
Since tetrapropenyl phenol consists of alkyl phenol analogues that have alkyl side chains that range from C3-C15, it is more appropriate to report a boiling range rather than a single boiling point. A recent study conducted by an HERTG member company with a commercial (>99% purity) sample by a thermogravimetric analysis method gave the preferred value of 189-270 °C (Seary 2005).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

A reliability rating of 2 was assigned to this study, according to the criteria of Klimisch, 1997 as the information was obtained from an in house study conducted to Chevron ILT Test 10301 method.
