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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
- 118.4 °C
Additional information
In the Klimisch 1 GLP study from Schneider (2001) the boiling temperature of Chloroacetamide was determined according to OECD 103 and EU method A.2, DSC method.
The samples of the test item were weight into aluminum crucibles with perforated lid. These samples were exposed to a temperature /time gradient while the thermal heat flow was recorded. The test was performed twice.
At both tests an exothermal peak directly after and endothermal melting peak was recorded. This exothermal heat flow was caused by decomposition of the test substance. The lowest start of this decomposition reaction was at approximately 135 °C.
Therefore it can be stated that Chloroacetamide has no boiling point. It began to decompose exothermally at approximately 135°C.
The results of this study are considered reliable and relevant for the risk assessment.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
