Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Type of method:
other: capillary method
Boiling pt.:
> 400 °C
Remarks on result:
other: No boiling could be observed under the conditions of the test. Therefore the boiling point is > 400 °C.

The test item did not boil under the conditions of the test, and was determined to be > 400 °C.

Description of key information

> 400 °C

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The boiling point was assessed using the capillary method (Weissenfeld 2006). The test item was filled into small glass tubes 4 mm to 6 mm high and packed tightly. 3 tubes were heated up from 25 °C to 400 °C at a rate of 20 °C/min. After the experiment the test item was unaltered in appearance. In order to confirm the results, a main test was performed in the same temperature range but with a heating rate reduced to 10 °C/min. During this run, the test item did not boil.

In conclusion, the test item did not boil under the conditions of the test, and was determined to be > 400 °C.
