Description of key information
The boiling point of FC-72 is 56.9 °C at 760 mm Hg (ASTM E1719-97 and ASTM D1120-94).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
In the key study, the boiling point of FC-72 was extrapolated from the measured vapor pressures and temperatures for the compound. The study was conducted under method ASTM E1719-97 and ASTM D1120-94. The study was not conducted in accord with GLP guidelines; therefore, the study is classified as acceptable with restrictions. In a study of two purified chemical isomers of the FC-72 mixture, a boiling point of 57.23 °C was reported for perfluoro-n-hexane and a boiling point of 57.74 °C was reported for perfluoro-2-methylpentane. The publication did not specify whether a guideline was followed and the study was not conducted in accord with GLP guidelines; therefore the reliability of these results could not be assessed. A third value for boiling point of 56 °C at 1 atm was found in a summary document on substance properties. However, due to few details available, it cannot be classified as to its reliability. The key study is the preferred value due to being in accordance with a guideline and having more details available than the supporting studies.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
