Remarks:
Mean of the on-set temperature of 3 determinations.

Three measurements in aluminium crucibles with a hole showed an endothermic effect after melting in the temperature range 315 - 380 °C with an onset temperature of 333 °C.

For the correction ∆t of the boiling point to standard atmospheric pressure (1013.3 hPa) the equation, table and graphs of H.B. Hass and R.F. Newton in „CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 74th ed. 1993-1994", pages 15-16 and 15-17 were used.

An additional measurement with the capillary method was performed to clarify the results of the DSC measurements.

Conclusions:
The test item has a boiling point of 333 °C (mean of the offset-temperatures of three determinations).
Executive summary:

The boiling point of the sample was tested according to EU Method A.2 and OECD Guideline 103 in a GLP study. The boiling point of the test item at atmospheric pressure (1013.3 hPa) is 333 °C (mean of the offset-temperatures of three determinations). This was confirmed by an additional measurement with the capillary method, where rapid gas bubbles were observed at the indicated boiling point.

Description of key information
