other: Boiling of the test material was not observed below the temperature at which reaction and/or decomposition started. Based on this, the test material has no boiling temperature.

Preliminary Test

- Starting at 300 °C, the weight of the sample decreased significantly. At 410 °C, the sample weight had decreased by 25 %.

- After the experiment, a dark brown residue remained in the sample container (original colour: amber). The change of the colour indicated reaction and/or decomposition of the test material.

 

Main Study

- During cooling, an exothermic peak followed by a glass transition were observed between -80 °C and -50 °C. The exothermic effect was obtained due to crystallisation of the test material. During heating, three glass transitions were observed between -75 °C and 50 °C. The inflection points of the glass transitions were -47.689 °C (first glass transition), -5.573 °C (second glass transition) and 32.361 °C (third glass transition). An endothermic peak directly followed by an exothermic effect was observed starting at 200 °C. The effects were due to reaction and/or decomposition of the test material. After the experiment, an orange/brown residue remained in the sample container.

- Experiment 2 was performed to determine the duplicate glass transitions. The inflection point of the glass transitions were -48.543 °C (first glass transition), -5.807 °C (second glass transition) and 32.830 °C (third glass transition). After the experiment, the sample appeared to have been unchanged, i.e. no decomposition and/or evaporation was observed.

- The glass transition temperature was determined as the mean glass transition temperature of Experiment 1 (-47.689 °C (first glass transition), -5.573 °C (second glass transition) and 32.361 °C (third glass transition)) and Experiment 2 (-48.543 °C (first glass transition), -5.807 °C (second glass transition) and 32.830 °C (third glass transition)).

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of this study, reaction and/or decomposition of the test material was observed during DSC experiments at temperatures of > 200 °C (> 473 K). Boiling of the test material was not observed below the temperature at which reaction and/or decomposition started. Based on this, the test material has no boiling temperature.

Executive summary:

The boiling point of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 103, EU Method A.2 and OPPTS 830.7220, under GLP conditions.

The boiling temperature of the test material was determined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Glass transitions of the test material were observed at -48.1 °C (225.0 K), -5.7 °C (267.5 K) and 32.6 °C (305.7 K).

Under the conditions of this study, reaction and/or decomposition of the test material was observed during DSC experiments at temperatures of > 200 °C (> 473 K). Boiling of the test material was not observed below the temperature at which reaction and/or decomposition started. Based on this, the test material has no boiling temperature.
