Results

In the temperature range of 50 - 70 °C an endothermic effect (melting), was observed. Between approx. 160 - 270 °C a second endothermic effect (boiling) could be detected.

During the heating phase an endothermic effect was observed in the temperature range of 50 - 70 °C, which can be assigned to the melting of the test item.

The test item showed a second endothermic signal in the temperature range of approx. 160 - 270 °C that can be assigned to 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 (e.g. Hydrocarbons). A correction value φ = 5.05 was used for the temperature of 240 - 250 °C.

The lowest measured onset temperature is corrected to the standard pressure to be 243.23 °C and the highest onset temperature to be 243.53 °C. As the corrected onset temperatures in both tests deviate less than 0.5 K from their mean value of 243.38 °C, the test item has a boiling point of 243.4 °C.

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

 

Final Results

The test item has a boiling point of 243.4 °C corrected to normal atmospheric pressure (1013 hPa) as determined by differential scanning calorimetry according to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.2. and OECD Test Guideline 103 (1995).

Conclusions:
A boiling point of 243.4 °C (at 1013 hPa) was determined for the test substance according to EU Method A.2
