Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
EPA OPPTS 830.7220 (Boiling Point / Boiling Range)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
As substance decomposes before boiling point an alternative method was used - Thermal Analysis by Thermal Gravimetric Method (ASTM E1131)

Using a TGA 2050 TA instrument, under N2 purge, tempertaure was increased 10 °C every minute up to 800 °C.
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of method:
other: Thermal Analysis by Thermal Gravimetric Method
Decomposition:
yes
Remarks:
onset of decompsotion
Decomp. temp.:
ca. 207.59 °C
Conclusions:
Using Thermal Gravimetric Method, the onset of decomposotion of di-, tri-, tetrachlorotetradecane was determined to be 207.59 °C.
Executive summary:

Di-, tri-, tetrachlorotetradecane begins to decompose before boiling point can be reached.

Using Thermal Gravimetric Method, the onset of decomposotion of di-, tri-, tetrachlorotetradecane was determined to be 207.59 °C.

Description of key information

Di-, tri-, tetrachlorotetradecane begins to decompose before boiling point can be reached. Two methods were used to determine onset of decomposition.

Using Differential Scanning Colorimeter, the onset of decomposotion of di-, tri-, tetrachlorotetradecane was determined to be 223.91 °C.

Using Thermal Gravimetric Method, the onset of decomposotion of di-, tri-, tetrachlorotetradecane was determined to be 207.59 °C.

The mean of the results will be used as the decomposition temperature = 215.75 °C

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
215.75 °C
