Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- boiling point
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- August 2010
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Comparable to guideline study with acceptable restrictions (e.g. non-GLP)
- Qualifier:
- equivalent or similar to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 103 (Boiling point/boiling range)
- Version / remarks:
- adopted 1995
- Qualifier:
- equivalent or similar to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: DIN 53171
- Version / remarks:
- Solvents for paints and varnishes - Determination of distillation characteristics (boiling range and boiling temperature as a function of distilled volume)
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Other quality assurance:
- other: The laboratory complied with a quality management system according to DIN EN ISO 9001 : 2008
- Type of method:
- distillation method
- Key result
- Boiling pt.:
- > 249 - < 254 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 1 013 hPa
- Decomposition:
- yes
- Decomp. temp.:
- >= 266 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: after distillation of 97% decomposition started >266 °C
- Conclusions:
- Boiling range (OECD 103; distillation method): 249 °C to 254 °C (1013 hPa), decompositon at T >= 266°C
- Executive summary:
The boiling range for pelargonic acid was determined similar / equivalent to OECD 103 (distillation method) from two replicate measurements. The boiling range was read between distillation volumes of 5% and 85%, and temperatures were corrected to an atmospheric pressure of 1013 hPa according to DIN 53171.
Boiling range (1013 hPa):
249 °C to 254 °C.
At temperatures of 269 °C (experiment 1) / 262°C (experiment 2) and above decomposition was observed.

According to the distillation volume / temperature profile, the distillation range between 5% and 85% was regarded as relevant for determination of the boiling point / boiling range.
Therefore, for pelargonic acid a boiling range of 249 °C to 254 °C was determined (1013 hPa).
Description of key information
Boiling range (OECD 103; distillation method): 249 °C to 254 °C (1013 hPa), decompositon at T >= 266°C
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
- 249 °C
Additional information
The boiling range for pelargonic acid was determined similar / equivalent to OECD 103 (distillation method) from two replicate measurements. The boiling range was read between distillation volumes of 5% and 85%, and temperatures were corrected to an atmospheric pressure of 1013 hPa according to DIN 53171.
Boiling range (1013 hPa):
249 °C to 254 °C.
At temperatures of 269 °C (experiment 1) / 262°C (experiment 2) and above decomposition was observed.
The key value for chemical safety assessment given corresponds to the lower limit of the boiling range.
The laboratory complied with a quality management system according to DIN EN ISO 9001 : 2008.
