- Boiling pt.:
- >= 162 °C
- Decomposition:
- yes
- Decomp. temp.:
- ca. 162 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: pressure not indicated
- Conclusions:
- Benzethonium chloride does not possess a boiling temperature but underwent decomposition during melting over the temperature range 162 to 166°C.
- Executive summary:
The boiling/decomposition temperature was assessed using differential scanning calorimetry in accordance with OECD no. 102 and as described in ASTM E 537-76. A series of tests were performed between ambient and 400°C in an atmosphere of air. Benzethonium chloride does not possess a boiling temperature but underwent decomposition during melting over the temperature range 162 to 166°C.
