Any other information on results incl. tables
The determination of the boiling point / boiling range of the test item was performed according to the EEC Directive 92/69 and Council Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, A.2 “Boiling temperature" and to the OECD Guideline No. 103: "Boiling point", adopted July 27, 1995.
Preliminary Test
The DSC-curve of the preliminary test (heating rate of 20 °C/min from 25 °C to 400 °C) is shown in attached Figure1. An endothermic heat effect was observed at about 172.0 °C. After the experiment, the sample had lost 98.9% of its mass and a small amount of a brownish residue remained in the sample cup.
Main Tests
In order to determine the boiling point more precisely, further DSC-runs were recorded between 100 °C and 250 °C with a heating rate of 10 °C/min. During these runs, the boiling point was determined to be 167.5 °C and 168.0 °C. The samples lost 91.7% and 87.1% of their mass, respectively. After the measurements a small amount of a brownish residue remained in the sample cup. The DSC curve of the first main test is given in attached Figure2. The results of the thermal analysis are summarized in Table 1.
