Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Boiling point
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- boiling point
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a solid which decomposes before boiling

- 300 °C
Additional information
The main supporting study (BASF, 1983) was performed equivalent to OECD Guideline 103 using differential thermal analysis (DTA) and was classified as Klimisch 2. Hence, the results can be considered as reliable. However, the nature of the test method does not allow to differentiate between boiling point and decomposition temperature, so cannot be clearly determined whether the subsequent exothermal reaction with a maximum at 300 °C (starting at 250 °C) is attributed to boiling or decomposing. Hence, two additional supporting values were taken from peer-reviewed databases. Here, it is stated clearly that the compound decomposes at 302-305 °C (GESTIS, 2013) resp. 305 °C (HSDB 2013 / Lide DR, 1994), which allow to draw the conclusion that the examined exothermal reaction was attributed to decomposition rather than boiling.
All three additional supporting studies were classified as Klimisch 2, and the results can be generally considered to be reliable. Furthermore, all values are in the same small range (300 °C – 305 °C), which can be easily explained by the possible presence of minor impurities, differences due to different determination methods or generally by a certain margin of error accompanying all experimental determinations.
Hence, the results are consistent and only the decomposition temperature could be determined and denoted in IUCLID, but not the boiling point. This in in congruence with REACH Annex VII section 7.3 Column 2 stating that the boiling point does not need to be determined if the substance decomposes before boiling. So, no datagaps were determined, no further testing is required and the decomposition temperature of ca. 300 °C can be used for risk assessment.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
