Description of key information

The boiling temperature of Propyl (S)-lactate was determined using by DSC. The boiling temperature of the test substance is 170–171 °C or 443–444 K.

Supportive handbook information (Clary et al., 1998) indicates a similar boiling temperature (170 °C) at atmospheric pressure.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
170 °C
