- Remarks on result:
- other: corrected to normal atmospheric pressure
- Conclusions:
- The test item was found to have a boiling point of 234.2 °C.
- Executive summary:
The boiling point of the test item was assessed according to OECD 102, differential scanning calorimetry.
An endothermic effect was observed in the range 100 to 270°C which was assigned to boiling of the substance.
The test item was found to have a boiling point of 234.2 °C.
Reference
During the heating phase an endothermic effect was observed in the temperature range of approx. 100 - 270°C, which 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 3 (e.g. Esters). A correction value φ = 5.25 was used for the temperature of 230 - 240 °C.
As the corrected onset temperatures in both tests deviate less than 0.5 K from their mean value of 234.22 °C, the test item has a boiling point of 234.2 °C.
No further thermal effects were observed up to the maximum test temperature of 500 °C.
Description of key information
The boiling point of the test item was determined by means of DSC, and was found to be 234.2 °C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
- 234.2 °C
Additional information
For this endpoint, the boiling point was determined experimentally according to OECD 103, differential scanning calorimetry. The test substance was found to have a boiling point of 234.2°C.
