Conclusions:
The test item begins to boil at 282 °C, corrected to a barometric pressure of 101.325 kPa. The test item is a UVCB substance and due to this a range of boiling is expected.
Executive summary:

The boiling point of the test item was investigated using the capillary method according to Siwoloboff and in accordance with EU Method A.2., OECD 103 and US EPA 830.7220 guidelines. The definitive test was conducted at 99.34 kPa and the results were corrected to 101.325 kPa using the Sidney Young equation. The test was performed in triplicate.

The test item begins to boil at 282 °C, corrected to a barometric pressure of 101.325 kPa. The test item is a UVCB substance and due to this a range of boiling is expected. Additionally, during the test the colour of the test item changed from white-yellowish to light brown.

The study is a GLP compliant guideline experimental study and is fully adequate for assessment for this endpoint.
