Remarks:
(OECD GLP)
Type of method:

Remarks on result:
other: The boiling point of the test substance could not be determined as it decomposes before boiling at >300°C.

Preliminary test results:

From 250°C upwards the weight of the sample decreased significantly. At 380°C the sample weight had decreased by 25%. After the experiment, a brown residue remained in the sample container (original colour: brown).

Main study results:

An exothermic peak started at 300°C, the effect was most likely obtained due to reaction and/or decomposition of the test substance. After the experiment, a brown residue remained in the sample container.

Reaction and/or decomposition of the test substance was observed at temperatures of > 300°C (> 573K). Boiling of the test substance was not observed below the temperature at which reaction and/or decomposition started. Based on this, the test substance has no boiling temperature.

Conclusions:
The boiling point of the test substance could not be determined as it decomposes before boiling at >300°C. Hence, in accordance with Annex VII column 2 adaptation of REACH, the boiling point study does not need to be conducted.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the boiling point of the test substance, using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) according to OECD 103, EU A.2 and US EPA 830.7220 guidelines. Reaction and/or decomposition of the test substance was observed at temperatures of > 300°C (> 573K). Boiling of the test substance was not observed below the temperature at which reaction and/or decomposition started. Based on this, the test substance has no boiling temperature. Hence, in accordance with Annex VII column 2 adaptation of REACH, the boiling point study does not need to be conducted.

Description of key information

The boiling point was determined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) according to OECD Guideline 103, EU Method A.2 and US EPA Guideline 830.7220 (Baltussen, 2012).

Key value for chemical safety assessment
