Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 103 (Boiling Point)
Version / remarks:
July 1995
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
differential scanning calorimetry
Key result
Boiling pt.:
227 °C
Atm. press.:
100.1 kPa
Decomposition:
no
Conclusions:
The test substance was determined to boil at 227 °C (500 K) at 100.1 kPa. Essentially identical behaviour was observed on heating the test item in both an air and a nitrogen atmosphere.
Executive summary:

The boiling temperature of the substance was determined under GLP in accordance with OECD TG 103 (July 1995). The boiling temperature determination was carried out by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The temperature accuracy of the DSC was checked prior to testing with indium and zinc. These were within the defined tolerances. Aliquots of the test substance were placed in aluminum crucibles with either pre-perforated or manually pierced lids. The initial temperature was 20 °C and the temperature was increased with a rate of 20 °C/min to 450 °C. Determinations 1-4 were performed under a static air atmosphere, and determinations 5-6 were conducted with a nitrogen atmosphere. The substance behaved essentially similarly under both types of atmosphere. The test substance was determined to boil at 227 °C at 100.1 kPa.

Description of key information

The boiling point has been determined reliably by differential scanning calorimetry under GLP in a study according to OECD TG 103.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
