Comments

Sample began to discolour to dark yellow, before darkening to dark brown at 265°C. Testing was therefore terminated due to decomposition being suspected.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The boiling point was not determined, (>265°C)
Executive summary:

Boiling point for hydrogenated Rosin was measured by Siwoloboff method according to the protocol in EU Regulation (EC) 440/2008 (test A2) and in compliance with GLP. Sample began to discolour to dark yellow, before darkening to dark brown at 265°C. Test was terminated at 265°C and no boiling point was observed. No decomposition was observed. Decarboxylation of some  resin acids starts at this temperature of 265°C. However a full decarboxylation will require higher temperature and some time. Sample discoloured to dark brown at 275°C.  This phenomenon is not the consequence of a decomposition reaction of the substance. Hydroperoxydes (oxydized resin acids) develop during ambient storage and the heating of those hydroperoxydes cause their decomposition: this forms powerfull chromophores (hydroperoxyde cleavage) that even in very small amount color the resin and bring the darkening.
