13-ethyl-11-methylene-gon-4-ene-3,17-dione

Auto flammability

Administrative data

Endpoint:

relative self-ignition temperature (solids)

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a solid having a melting point <= 160°C

Justification for type of information:

In accordance with REACH Annex VII, column 2 of data requirement 7.12, the auto flammability (self-ignition temperature) does not need to be conducted as the substance is a solid with a melting point <= 160 °C.

TGA EXPERIMENT (PRELIMINARY TEST)

The weight of the sample decreased significantly at temperatures above 325°C: 25% decrease at 413°C and 70% decrease at 458°C.

Appearance of the sample after the experiment: an orange brown molten residue.

The change of colour is an indicator for reaction and/or decomposition of the test item.

 

DSC EXPERIMENT 1

An endothermic effect was observed between 125°C and 175°C followed by a broad endothermic effect starting at 300°C. The extrapolated onset temperature of the first effect was 156.149°C. The endothermic effect was most likely obtained due to melting of the test item. The second endothermic effect was probably obtained due to reaction and/or decomposition of the test item.

After the experiment, a dark yellow molten residue remained in the sample container (original colour: off-white). The change of the colour indicated reaction and/or decomposition of the test item.

DSC EXPERIMENT 2

In order to investigate the endothermic effect, Experiment 2 was stopped directly after the melting effect. The extrapolated onset temperature was 156.165°C.

After the experiment, a colourless molten residue remained in the sample container (original colour: off-white). It demonstrated that melting was the reason for the endothermic effect. 

TGA and DSC curves: see illustration below.

 

RESULTS

Melting temperature: mean extrapolated onset temperature of DSC Experiment 1 (156.149°C) and Experiment 2 (156.165°C).

Boiling temperature: reaction and/or decomposition of the test item was observed during DSC experiment starting at 300°C. Boiling of the test item was not observed below the temperature at which reaction and/or decomposition started. Based on this, the test item has no boiling temperature.

 

Conclusions:

The melting temperature of the substance was determined to be 156.2°C.

Executive summary:

Differential Scanning Calorimetry was performed. The experiments were in accordance with EC A.1, OECD 102 and OPPTS 830.7200 (melting temperature) and EC A.2, OECD TG 103 and OPPTS 830.722 (boiling temperature). GLP-study. 

The DSC curve showed an endothermic effect due to melting.

The melting temperature of the substance was determined in duplicate obtaining a mean value of 156.2°C.

 

Boiling of the substance was not observed below the temperature at which reaction and/or decomposition started (i.e. at 300°C). Based on this, the test item has no boiling temperature.
