Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

RESULTS

- Thermographic data for Determinations 1 and 2 are shown in Table 3.3 (attached).

Conclusions:
The test item was determined to boil from approximately 110°C (383K) at 99 to 101 kPa
Executive summary:

GUIDELINE

The determination was carried out by differential scanning calorimetry, using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A.2 Boiling Temperature of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 103 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995.

DISCUSSION

As a result of the low rate of enthalpy change, the onset of boiling could only be approximated. With the test item being a complex mixture with a wide range of component sizes, the small components that boiled first only represented a very small percentage of the test item and therefore caused only a small enthalpy change in the thermogram. As the temperature increased, the components that boiled were an increasingly higher percentage of the test item until it reached a peak at about 380 to 400 °C. As approximately 40% of the test item remained after heating to 400 °C, complete boiling of the test item did not occur.

CONCLUSION

The boiling temperature of the test item was determined to be from approximately 110 °C (383 K) at 99 to 101 kPa.
