Description of key information
The substance has a boiling point of 228 °C at 1013.25 hPa.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
- 228 °C
Additional information
A non-GLP study conducted equivalent or similar to the OECD Guideline for the Testing of Chemicals. 103 "Boiling Point / Boiling Range" determined the boiling point of 2 -ethylhexanoic acid to be 228 °C at 1013,25 hPa. An older non-GLP study conducted, using the dynamic method, determined the boiling point to be 227 °C at 992,7 mBar.
This was supported by different literature sources which reported the boiling point to be in a range of 226-229°C at 1013 hPa (Karel Verschueren 226 -229 °C, Design Institute for Physical Properties 227,5 °C and the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics 228 °C). The value from the recent study wa chosen as key value for the boiling point.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
