Key result

Boiling pt.:

99 °C

Atm. press.:

101.1 kPa

Decomposition:

no

Remarks:

initial trial by thermogravimetric analysis showed no test substance remained in pan

The DSC-curve obtained with Experiment 1 is shown in Figure 1. During heating, an endothermic peak was observed with an extrapolated onset temperature of 99 °C. A lower heating rate was applied in Experiment 2 to investigate the endothermic peak. The extrapolated onset temperature of the endothermic peak in Experiment 2 was 100 °C. Experiment 3 was performed at the same heating rate as Experiment 1, with an extrapolated onset temperature of 99 °C. The boiling temperature was determined as the average obtained from Experiments 1 and 3.

Conclusions:

The boiling point of HFE s-601 is 99 °C at 101.1 kPa by DSC (OECD 103).

Executive summary:

The boiling point of HFE s-601 was tested using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in three experiments. The boiling temperature was determined as the mean evaporation temperature of two trials done under comparable conditions. The study was conducted in accordance with accepted guidelines and was GLP compliant; therefore the study is considered reliable without restrictions.
