Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
boiling point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study without detailed documentation
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.2 (Boiling Temperature)
Version / remarks:
In-house method based similar to EU Method A.2 (Siwoloboff method).
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Melting point is defined as the temperature at which a substance changes from the solid to the liquid state. During this transformation, most substances are changing their optical characteristics. Using this method the samples are scanned by a light source. Photocells, sensitive to the changes of light transparency of the samples during the melting process, will register the resulting indications on the control unit. The Melting Point M-565 is an instrument for automatic and visual (manual) determination of melting point, melting range, and boiling point at ambient temperatures +10 °C up to 400 °C. The melting point of three samples can be determined at the same time. The boiling point can be determined for one sample at a time. Samples can be observed through the lens or on the color display.
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of method:
method according to Siwoloboff
Key result
