Results

The following observations were made:

Observations

Determination	Boiling Point	Atmospheric Pressure
First determination	317.0 °C (590.2 K)	99094 Pa
Second determination	325.0 °C (598.2 K)	99077Pa
Third determination	318.0 °C (591.2 K)	99136 Pa

 

For the calculation of the value of the mean and the evaluation, the result of the second determination was discarded because the deviation between the first two determinations was too high and the third experiment confirmed the result of first determination.

Evaluation

A pressure correction following Sidney-Young was not applied as the test item decomposes. The boiling point was stated as 317.5 °C (590.7 K) under decomposition, which is the mean of the two determinations.

Conclusions:

The boiling point of the test item VP 112/18 was determined with 317.5 °C (590.7 K) under decomposition.
The test item became more viscous and had changed its colour to reddish amber with a black residue at the surface after the test which was a clear sign of decomposition.

Description of key information

The boiling point of naphthenic acids, zinc salts, basic was determined with 317.5 °C (590.7 K) under decomposition between 99094hPa and 99136hPa.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:

317.5 °C

Additional information

Naphthenic acids, zinc salts, basic became more viscous and had changed its colour to reddish amber with a black residue at the surface after the test which was a clear sign of decomposition.
