Preliminary test

From the start until approximately 150°C the weight of the sample slightly decreased. From approximately 150°C upwards the weight of the sampie significantly decreased. At 234°C, the sampie weight had decreased by 25%. After the experiment, a dark brown coloured (original colour: orange - light brown) residue remained in the sampie pan. The change of the colour of the test substance indicates reaction and/or decomposition.

Main study

During cooling, a glass transition was observed between -10°C and -50°C. During heating, a glass transition was observed between -50°C and -15°C, with an extrapolated onset temperature of -28°C in the first experiment and -29°C in the second experiment. Above approximately 150°C reaction and/or decomposition of the test substance was observed. After the experiment, a sticky, yellowish coloured liquid remained in the sample container.

Besides a glass transition between -50°C (223 K) and -15°C (258 K) with an extrapolated onset of -29°C (244 K), no melting and/or boiling was observed below the temperature of 150°C (423 K) at which reaction and/or decomposition of the test substance started. Therefore, the test substance has no melting and/or boiling temperature.

Conclusions:
No boiling was observed up the temperature of 150°C at which reaction and/or decomposition of the test substance started.
Executive summary:

The boiling point of Amphopropionate C8 was determined according to OECD Guideline 103 (27 July 1995) and EU Method A.2 (29 December 1992) using differential scanning calorimetry.

Besides a glass transition between -50°C (223 K) and -15°C (273 K) with an extrapolated onset of -29°C (244 K), no melting was observed below the temperature of 150°C (423 K) at which reaction and/or decomposition of the test substance started

Therefore, the test substance has no melting and/or boiling temperature.

Description of key information

No boiling point was found below decomposition temperature of 150°C (423 K) (OECD TG 103 / EU Method A.2; differential scanning calorimetry) ; RL1; GLP

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Besides a glass transition between -50°C (223 K) and -15°C (273 K) with an extrapolated onset of -29°C (244 K), no melting was observed below the temperature of 150°C (423 K) at which reaction and/or decomposition of the test substance started. Therefore, the test substance has no boiling temperature.
