Reference
In the thermograms of the two DSC runs (nos. PN7413 and PN7423) an endothermic (melting) effect was observed in the temperature range of - 5 °C to 25 °C. Between 200 - 300 °C a second endothermic effect (boiling) could be detected.

The test item showed a second distinct endothermic signal in the temperature range of 200 – 300 °C that can be associated with the boiling of the test item.
For the correction of the boiling temperature to standard pressure the test item was assigned to chemical group 2 (eg. Hydrocarbons). According to appendix 7.2 a correction value φ = 5.1 was used for the temperature range from 260 °C to 270 °C.
The lowest measured onset temperature is corrected to the standard pressure to be 268.61 °C and the highest onset temperature to be 269.65 °C. As the corrected onset temperatures in both tests deviate by less than 0.5 K from their mean value of 269.13 °C, the test item has a boiling range from 268 to 270 °C.
No further thermal effects were observed up to the test temperature of 500 °C.
Final Results
The test item has a boiling point of 268 to 270 °C at atmospheric pressure (1013 hPa) as determined by differential scanning calorimetry according to Directive EC40/2008 Method A.2., OECD Test Guideline 103 (1995), EPA OCSPP 830.7220 (1998).
Description of key information
Boiling point: 268 to 270 °C at 1013 hPa (EU Method A.2. differential scanning calorimetry)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
A boiling point range of 268 to 270 °C (at 1013 hPa) was determined for the test substance according to E.U. Method A.2.
