Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Approx. 15 % of coal-tar pitch is volatile up to 360 °C at 99.85 kPa

Description of key information

Approx. 20 % of pitch, coal tar, high-temp. is volatile up to 500 °C (~ 770 K) at 101 kPa.          

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
400 °C

Additional information

A definite boiling point does not exist. At a temperature of > 400 °C, pitch, coal tar, high-temp. starts decomposing.
