Endpoint:
boiling point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
05 December 2017
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Remarks:
non-CLP
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 103 (Boiling Point)
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
other: see description
Boiling pt.:
341.6 °C
Atm. press.:
1 034 mBar
Decomposition:
no
Remarks on result:
other: At temperatures higher than 341.9ºC there was significant darkening of the liquid substance, indicating oxidation of the test material. It was noted that at 403±2°C there was rapid bubble formation and apparent further boiling.
Remarks:
This might indicate the boiling point of the oxidised material or the presence of impurities in the sample.

The boiling point was based on the findings in run 3 and 4.

The viscous nature of the melted sample made it difficult to determine the endpoint of boiling and so  several  attempts  were  made  to  determine  the  correct  value  range and  to  confirm observations. The variation of extremes between the observed final boiling points was ±3°C. This  exceeds the guideline range of  ±2°C, but as  this  guideline value is  intended for  mono-constituent materials, the range of ±3°C is deemed acceptable in this case given that the substance is a UVCB.

The determined onset of boiling was also considerably below the determined boiling point.

Conclusions:
The boiling point of the substance is 341.6°C
