Results

The test item shows an endothermic effect in the temperature range of 100 – 130 °C, which can be associated with a melting of the test item (melting point according to the certificate of analysis 120.6 °C). In the temperature range of 210 – 290 °C the test item shows an exothermic effect with a decomposition energy of approx. 570 J/g. A second exothermic effect was observed in the temperature range of 320 – 360 °C (DSC run 14653) and of 370 – 400 °C (DSC run 14654) with a decomposition energy of about 30 J/g.

Due to the fact that the test item showed no second endothermic effect before its decomposition starting at a temperature of approx. 220 °C, the test item has no boiling before its decomposition start at a temperature of 220 °C.

Conclusions:
2-Naphthol has no boiling point. Decomposition starts at approx. 220°C.
Executive summary:

The test item 2-Naphthol has no boiling point up to its decomposition starting at approx. 220 °Cas determined by differential scanning calorimetry and capillary method according to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.2. and OECD Test Guideline 103 (1995).

Description of key information

A differential scanning calorimetry and capillary method was performed in accordance with OECD Testing Guideline 103 to determine the boiling point of the test substance 2-Naphthol.  It concluded that 2-naphthol has no boiling point up to its decomposition which started at approx 220 oC.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
