Results

In the thermograms of the two DSC runs (nos. PN7387 and PN7397) an endothermic (melting) effect was observed in the temperature range of - 10 °C to 25 °C. Between 155 - 310 °C a second endothermic effect (boiling) could be detected.

The test item showed a second distinct endothermic signal in the temperature range of 155 to 320 °C that can be associated with the boiling of the test item.

For the correction of the boiling temperature to standard pressure the test item was assigned to chemical group 2 (eg. Hydrocarbons). A correction value φ = 5.1 was used for the temperature range from 270 °C to 280 °C.

The lowest measured onset temperature is corrected to the standard pressure to be 272.40 °C and the highest onset temperature to be 274.25 °C. As the corrected onset temperatures in both tests deviate by less than 0.5 K from their mean value of 273.33 °C, the test item has a boiling range from 272 to 274 °C.

No further thermal effects were observed up to the test temperature of 500 °C.

Final Results

The test item [trade name] has a boiling point of 272 to 274 °C at atmospheric pressure (1013 hPa) as determined by differential scanning calorimetry according to Directive EC440/2008 Method A.2., OECD Test Guideline 103 (1995), EPA OCSPP 830.7220 (1998).

Conclusions:
A boiling point of 272 to 274 °C (at 1013 hPa) was determined for the test substance according to E.U. Method A.2.
