Remarks on result:

other: the test item boiled under or after decomposition

Two DSC measurements in aluminium crucibles with a hole showed an endothermal effect after the melting in the temperature range of 290 - 320 °C. The onset temperature (see Table 1) was derived from the intersection of the tangent line with the highest slope of the endothermal peak with the baseline. No further endothermic or exothermic effects were observed up to the final temperature (500 °C). The mass loss after the DSC measurements amounted to 100 %.

Ident No.	Test item/ mg	Starting temperature / °C	Final test temperature / °C	Temperature range (melting) / °C	Onset / °C	Crucible	Observations after the measurement
36349	15.88	25	500	280 – 330	302.52	Aluminium with a hole	Mass loss 100 %
36357	21.95	25	400	290 – 325	309.08	Aluminium with a hole	Brown residue, Mass loss 99 %

The test item had a boiling range of 302 - 310 °C. It boiled under or after decomposition.

Conclusions:

The boiling point of the test substance was in the range 302 -310 °C. The substance boiled under or after decomposition.

Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to OECD test guideline 103 and Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.2 to determine the boiling point of the test item using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC 25 -500 °C). The test item and the reference are heated up from the starting temperature to the final temperature at a constant heating rate in a defined atmosphere (nitrogen). Open crucibles are used as containers for the test item and as empty reference crucible. The quantity of heat absorbed or released is measured and recorded. The boiling point of the test substance was in the range 302 -310 °C. The substance boiled under or after decomposition.
