Calcium dibenzoate

Boiling point

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Endpoint:

boiling point

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

16.06.2016

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study without detailed documentation

Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

reference to same study

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.2 (Boiling Temperature)

Deviations:

no

GLP compliance:

no

Type of method:

other: thermo gravimetry (TGA)

Key result

Decomposition:

yes

Decomp. temp.:

> 500 °C

Remarks on result:

not determinable

Remarks:

A boiling point was not observed, but decomposition of the test substance was observed during a thermogravimetric analysis. The pressure during the test was not reported, however an atmospheric pressure can be assumed.

Residue of thermogravimetric analysis: 23.0%.

Conclusions:

Calcium dibenzoate starts to decompose at a temperature > 500 °C. As the substance decompose at > 500 °C before melting or boiling, neither a melting nor a boiling point could be determined.

Description of key information

Calcium dibenzoate starts to decompose at a temperature > 500 °C. As the substance decompose at > 500 °C before melting or boiling, no boiling point could be determined.
