Preliminary Test

Starting at 225 °C, the weight of the sample decreased significantly. At 247 °C, the sample weight had decreased by 25 %.

After the experiment, a black charred residue remained in the sample container (original colour: colourless). The change of the colour indicated reaction and/or decomposition of the test material.

Main Study

The TGA and DSC curves obtained are attached.

During cooling, no effects were observed. During heating an endothermic effect was observed starting at 175 °C. The endothermic effect was probably obtained due to reaction and/or decomposition of the test material.

After the experiment, a black molten residue remained in the sample container (original colour: colourless). The change of the colour indicated reaction and/or decomposition of the test material.

After the additional investigation of the melting temperature of the test material was performed (placing two sub-samples of the test material for 94 hours at -20.3 ± 2 °C and at -83.6 ± 1.7 °C respectively) it was observed after storage that the test material was a liquid (-20.3 ± 2 °C) and a very viscous liquid (-83.6 ± 1.7 °C). According to this it was concluded that the melting temperature of the test material is < -83.6 °C (<189.6 K).

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study, reaction and/or decomposition of the test material was observed during DSC experiment starting at 175 °C (448 K). Boiling of the test material was not observed below the temperature at which reaction and/or decomposition started. Based on this, the test material has no boiling temperature.
Executive summary:

The boiling temperature of the test material was investigated in a study which was conducted in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 103, EU Method A.2 and EPA OPPTS 830.7220, and under GLP conditions.

During the study, the melting and boiling temperature of the test material were tested by DSC.

Under the conditions of the study, reaction and/or decomposition of the test material was observed during DSC experiment starting at 175 °C (448 K). Boiling of the test material was not observed below the temperature at which reaction and/or decomposition started. Based on this, the test material has no boiling temperature.

Description of key information

Under the conditions of the study, reaction and/or decomposition of the test material was observed during DSC experiment starting at 175 °C (448 K). Boiling of the test material was not observed below the temperature at which reaction and/or decomposition started. Based on this, the test material has no boiling temperature.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
