For the determination of the boiling point the preliminary test was carried out from 51 °C (melting point of the test substance) up to 400 °C with 10 °C/min. The test substance showed bubbles around 351 °C and reached the boiling point at 361.2-361.7 °C for the 2 capillaries. The main test was carried out from 351 °C to 366 °C with 0.5 °C/min heating rate using 3 parallel determinations with 2 capillaries for each.

Conclusions:
The boiling point of the test substance is 360.0 °C.
Executive summary:

The boiling point of the test substance is 360.0 °C.

Description of key information

The test substance has a boiling point at 360.0 °C. The experiments were carried out at 97.2 kPa atmospheric pressure.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
360 °C
