Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Distillation of Petroleum products at atmospheric pressure method , ASTM D 86 ü 04b
Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The initial determination of the boiling point range was determined in the SafePharmLaboratories using the distillation method according to the EC Directive 92/69/EEC A.2 Boiling Temperature. However, it was considered by the test laboratory that this was not appropriate for test materials of this nature. Therefore, the boiling point range was determined at Shell Research Ltd (non-GLP) using the ASTM D 86 method. This method uses specific apparatus that controls heating rate, temperature of the condenser and temperature of the collection vessel. These parameters are very specific for a particular petroleum product type and can have a significant effect on the boiling temperature obtained.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The data generated by the inappropriate Distillation Method of Annex V gave results of 59 to 154°C at 101.53 to 101.55 kPa.
The determination using the ASTM D86-method gave a boiling temperature range of 335 to 454 K (62 to 181°C) at 100.8 kPa.
