Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key result
Boiling pt.:
>= 80 - <= 250 °C
Atm. press.:
>= 100.8 - <= 102 kPa
Decomposition:
ambiguous
Remarks:
The test item has been determined to partially boil from approximately 80 to 250 °C (353 to 523 K) and then decompose from approximately 320 °C (593 K).
Decomp. temp.:
>= 320 °C

Overall result: Partially boiled from approximately 80 to 250 °C (353 to 523 K) and then decomposed from approximately 320 °C (593 K).


As the test item contained 50% by weight of ethylene glycol, it was considered that this boiling event was probably due to the ethylene glycol volatilizing out of the viscous test item.


As a result of the low rate of enthalpy change during volatilization, the start and end temperatures could only be approximated.


Also, as a result of the low rate of enthalpy change during decomposition, the start temperature could only be approximated.

Conclusions:
The test item has been determined to partially boil from approximately 80 to 250 °C (353 to 523 K) and then decompose from approximately 320 °C (593 K) at 100.8 to 102.0 kPa.
As the test item contained 50% by weight of ethylene glycol, it was considered that this boiling event was probably due to the ethylene glycol volatilizing out of the viscous test item.
