Executive summary:

The boiling point of the test substance was determined under GLP by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) using the procedure specified in ASTM E537-86 and according to OECD 103 and EU method A2 guidelines. Two runs were performed, under nitrogen and air atmosphere, showing no oxidative degradation, and the result in air was retained.

The boiling temperature of test substance has been determined to be 269 ± 1 °C (542 ± 1 K) at an atmospheric pressure of 99.51 kPa.

Description of key information

Measured boiling point = 269°C under 99.5 kPa (not corrected to normal atmP) 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
269 °C

Additional information

A reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized OECD/EC method and under GLP, is available. Despite minor restrictions due to technical inaccuracy, it is considered as a key study. The result is retained as key data.
