Test Substance

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)

360°C (DSC enthalpic change 1) Degradation

430°C (DSC enthalpic change 2) Degradation

 

Conclusions:
No boiling point was observed since the test substance degraded above approximately 360°C (transition), with a second transition at 430°C.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the boiling point of the test substance according to EU Method A.2. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used. Duplicate specimens of the test substance were encapsulated in aluminium pans with pierced lids and subjected to a controlled temperature program of -60°C to 500°C at 10K/min. When transition involving a change in enthalpy (endothermic in the case of boiling) occurs, that change is indicated by a departure from the base line of the temperature record. Under the study conditions, no boiling point was observed since the test substance degraded above approximately 360°C (transition), with a second transition at 430°C (Sohar, 2015).

Description of key information

The boiling point was determined according to EU Method A.2 (Sohar, 2015). 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No boiling point was observed since the test substance degraded above approximately 360°C (transition), with a second transition at 430°C.
