Temperature (K)

Determination 1

Determination 2

Bubbles began to emerge from the closed capillary tube.

349

Bubbles were emerging from the closed capillary tube at a steady rate - the heat source was removed.

428

422

Boiling temperature - test material rose rapidly inside the closed capillary tube.

Mean boiling temperature = 412 ± 2 K (139 °C)

Conclusions:
The boiling point of the test item was determined to be 139 °C at 100 kPa.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to Directive 92/69/EEC method A.2 to determine the boiling point of the test item using the principle according to Siwoloboff. An aliquot of test material was placed in a test tube and a fused capillary tube was inserted into the sample such that the fused section was below the surface of the sample. The test tube was placed in a liquid bath and the bath heated steadily. The boiling point was determined to be 139 °C at 100 kPa.

Description of key information

The boiling point of the test item was determined to be 139 °C at 100 kPa (reference 4.3-1).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
139 °C
