- Executive summary:
The boiling point of the test substance was determined under GLP by dynamic method according to EU A2 guideline.
Different methods were used to determine the boiling point of this substance: Siwoloboff pre-test, DSC measurement and Cottrell method (dynamic method) as a main test.
The pre-test with Siwoloboff method was difficult to perform considering the dark colour of the test item. As DSC measurement showed no events, Dynamic method was chosen as a main method.
Two experiments were conducted but no clear initial boiling point of the test item could be determined using this method and considering the complex nature of the substance.
At a test item temperature of approximately 100°C (resp. 94°C), a colourless condensate was observed, which might be due to the evaporation / vaporisation of higher volatile components of the test item or to a decomposition of the substance. At 105°C (resp. 100°C), lots of fine foam at the top and a red-brown liquid at the bottom were observed. At a test item temperature of approximately 160°C (resp. 150°C), more liquid and less foam were observed, and the substance started to boil.
Boiling of the major part of the substance, indicated by pumping of the Cottrell pump, was observed at a test item temperature of 180°C (resp. 183°C). These results are quite close to the results obtained in the pre-test using Siwoloboff method.
However, the thermometer in the Cottrell pump showed a much lower temperature than the temperature in the sample, eg. 66.6°C (first determination) and 79.9°C (second determination), while the temperature measured in the sample fluctuated between 180 and 183°C. This temperature difference between the thermometers was also observed when the test item foamed and when the condensate was observed. It can be a sign of decomposition of the substance.
Finally, the temperature of initial boiling point and / or initial decomposition of the test item cannot be determined using the dynamic method. Considering that the DSC didn’t allow to detect a potential decomposition or a phase transition of the substance (such as boiling point), no initial boiling point of the test could be determined using the standard methods reported in this report.

DSC Method
Security Pre-test for the DSC instrument
Thecrucible was found visually unchanged after reaching a temperature of 420°C. The weight was recorded with 47.31mg (1.15 mg residue after 420°C). After further heating to 600°C and cooling down the crucible was found visually unchanged as well. The weight was recorded with 46.68 mg (0.52 mg residue after 600°C). After heating and weighing of 600 °C the crucible was opened, a black residue (like charcoal) was visible.

DISCUSION
Siwoloboff method was used in a pre-test but the colour of the test item was very dark and was difficult to observe through the hole. Only observation ar the surface could be possible.
One experiment was conducted via DSC (differential scanning calorimetry). As DSC measurement showed no events, other method was chosen.
Finally the determination of the Boiling Point with Dynamic Method - Cottrell Apparatus was performed.
For the determination of the initial boiling point of the substance, two experiments were performed using the dynamic method. At a test item temperature of approximately 100°C (resp. 94°C), a colourless condensate was observed, which might be due to the evaporation / vaporisation of higher volatile components of the test item or to a decomposition of the substance. At 105°C (resp. 100°C), lots of fine foam at the top and a red-brown liquid at the bottomwere observed. At a test item temperature of approximately 160°C (resp. 150°C), more liquid and less foam were observed, and the substance start to boil.
Boiling of the major part of the substance, indicated by pumping of the Cottrell pump, was observed at a test item temperature of 180°C (resp. 183°C). These results are quite close to the results obtained in the pre-test using Siwoloboff method.
However, the thermometer in the Cottrell pump showed a much lower temperature than the temperature in the sample, eg. 66.6°C (first determination) and 79.9°C (second determination), while the temperature measured in the sample fluctuated between 180 and 183°C. This temperature difference between the thermometers was also observed when the test item foamed and when the condensate was observed. It can be a sign of decomposition of the substance.
Finally, the temperature of initial boiling point and / or initial decomposition of the test item cannot be determined using the dynamic method. Considering that the DSC didn’t allow to detect a potential decomposition or a phase transition of the substance (such as boiling point), no initial boiling point of the test could be determined using the standard methods reported in this report.
No observations were made which might cause doubts on the validity of the study outcome. Therefore, the result of the study is considered valid.
