Results

In the thermograms of the two DSC runs (nos. PN7334 and PN7336) an endothermic effect (melting) was observed in the temperature range of 30 – 60 °C. Between 150 - 290 °C a second endothermic effect (boiling) could be detected.

The test item showed a second distinct endothermic signal in the temperature range of 150 -290 °C that can be associated with the boiling of the test item.

For the correction of the boiling temperature to standard pressure, the test item was assigned to chemical group 2 (eg. hydrocarbons). A correction value φ = 5.1 was applied for the temperature range from 260 - 290 °C.

The lowest measured onset temperature, corrected to standard pressure, was 275.78 °C. The highest onset temperature, corrected to standard pressure, was 276.42 °C. As the corrected onset temperatures in both tests deviate by less than 0.5 K from their mean value of 276.10 °C, the test item has a boiling point of 276.1 °C.

No further thermal effects were observed up to the test temperature of 500 °C.

Final Results

The test item has a boiling point of 276.1 °C at atmospheric pressure (1013 hPa) as determined by differential scanning calorimetry according to Directive EC40/2008 Method A.2., OECD Test Guideline 103 (1995), EPA OCSPP 830.7220 (1998).

 

Conclusions:
A boiling point of value 276.1 °C (at 1013 hPa) was determined for the test substance according to E.U. Method A.2.

Description of key information

Boiling point: 276.1 °C at 1013 hPa (EU Method A.2, differential scanning calorimetry)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
276.1 °C

Additional information

The boiling point has been corrected to normal pressure (1013.25 hPa) using the H.N. Hass and R.F. Newton equation.
