RESULT: Boiled between 391 and 395 ± 1 K at a reduced pressure of 0.133 kPa.

 

The test item decomposed at 498 K prior toboiling at atmospheric pressure.

The test item was found to boil between 391 and 395 ± 1 K at a reduced pressure of 0.133 kPa (approximately 99 % distillation).

Conclusions:
According to Council Directive 92/69/EEC A.2 and OECD Guideline 103 (1981), the test item decomposes at 225 °C prior to boiling at atmospheric pressure (99.67 kPa). The boiling range of the test item is 118 - 122 °C at reduced pressure of 0.133 kPa.

Description of key information

The test item decomposes at 225 °C prior to boiling at atmospheric pressure (99.67 kPa). The boiling range of the test item is 118 - 122 °C at reduced pressure of 0.133 kPa.
