3	200.0	Pale orange non viscous liquid
4	249.0	Pale orange non viscous liquid
5	298.0	Pale orange liquid rising up sides of test tube

7	326.0	Increasing amount of amber colored liquid on test tube sides
8	333.0	Amber colored liquid with amber colored residue on test tube walls
9	339.0	Bubbles appear in amber colored liquid
10	350.0	Bubbles appear in amber colored liquid
11	355.0	Dark amber colored liquid with amber colored residue on test tube walls. Reduction in volume of liquid
12	357.0	Bubbles appear in dark amber colored liquid
13	360.0	Bubbles appear in amber colored liquid with amber colored residue on test tube walls

During the visual assessment the test item was observed to darken in color from 326°C which supports the conclusion that the test item decomposed from approximately 295°C. As a result of the low rate of enthalpy change during decomposition, the onset temperature can only be approximated.

Conclusions:

The test item has been determined to decompose from approximately 295°C (568 K) at approximately 100.6 kPa. As the test item decomposed, no value for boiling temperature could be determined.

Executive summary:

Boiling Temperature. The test item decomposed from approximately 295°C (568 K) at approximately 100.6 kPa by differential scanning calorimetry using a method designed to be compatible with Method A2 Boiling Temperature of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008, Method 103 of the DECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995 and Method 830.7220 of the DPPTS Guidelines. As the test item decomposed, no value for boiling temperature could be determined.

Description of key information

Boiling point: decomposition from about 295°C (OECD 103)

Additional information

The boiling temperature of the substance was determined with the use of a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) method in accordance with OECD Test Guideline 103 and in compliance with GLP. The substance was observed to undergo thermal decomposition from about 295°C at 100.6 kPa. The result is considered to be reliable.
