Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- Thermograms for Determinations 1 and 2 are shown in Figures 1 and 2 (attached).

- Thermographic data for Determinations 1 and 2 are given in Table 3 (below).

- After heating to 400 °C, the samples had lost approximately 13 % (Determination 1) and 14 % (Determination 2) of their original mass.

GUIDELINE

Boiling temperature was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry using a method 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.

RESULTS

Boiling temperature of the test item was determined to be from approximately 277 °C (550 K) at 101 kPa.

Thermatographic data shown in the attached document

Conclusions:
The test item did not boil up to 400 °C (673 K) at 101.5 kPa by differential scanning calorimetry.
Executive summary:

Method

The determination was carried out by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A2 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.

Conclusion

The test item did not boil up to 400 °C (673 K) at 101.5 kPa by differential scanning calorimetry,

Endpoint:
boiling point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: GLP-Guideline study.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 103 (Boiling point/boiling range)
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
method according to Siwoloboff
Boiling pt.:
> 300 °C
Atm. press.:
102.06 kPa
Remarks on result:
other: Test substance was stable under the conditions of the test.

Approx. 3 minutes after the capillary containing the test substance was inserted into the oven at 305 °C, the plug of test substance moved less than approx. 5 mm in the capillary tube, and remained inside the oven (it did not migrate to a cooler region of the pipette outside the oven). The colour of the test substance did not change during the test, which was consistent with the test substance being thermally stable under the conditions of the test.

Endpoint:
boiling point
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Justification for type of information:
To register EC453-460-3 under REACH program, a read-across approach for fulfillment of the endpoints has been adopted. EC453-460-3 is an aliphatic ester and fits the description of polyol esters category in HPV program (High Production Volume, US-EPA). The distinguishing feature of polyol esters category is that the fatty acids were linked to one or more of the multiple hydroxyl groups present in the polyol (alcohol portion of ester). The focus of this correspondence is to support read across to EC613-848-7 (target) which provided key studies to determine hazard profile of EC453-460-3 (target), published information on other structurally analogous polyol esters were served as supporting evidence.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Boiling pt.:
> 400 °C
Atm. press.:
101.5 kPa
Decomposition:
no
