Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
boiling point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
1987
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.2 (Boiling Temperature)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
method according to Siwoloboff
Key result
Boiling pt.:
> 170 °C
Atm. press.:
101.3 kPa
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
>= 174 °C
Conclusions:
The boiling point was found to be > 170°C at 101.3 kPa. Above 174°C, the substance starts to decompose.
Executive summary:

The study was performed 1987 as GLP-test following EU-testing method A.2 and using the Siwoloboff method. The test substance started to decompose at approx. 447 K (174°C). During the heating process up t o 573 K (300°C) the colour of the test substance changed from colourless to brown. The measurements were performed at atmospheric pressure. A separate study conducted by another CRO gave a result of > 300°C. See following supporting study.

Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
>= 174 °C
Conclusions:
Upon heating the compound above 100°C it was found to turn gradually from colourless to deep yellow. Boiling did not occur below 300°C, at which temperature the test was stopped.
Executive summary:

The study was performed 1987 as GLP-test following EU-testing method A.2 and using the capillary method. Upon heating the compound above 100°C it was found to turn gradually from colourless to deep yellow. Boiling did not occur below 300°C, at which temperature the test was stopped.

Description of key information

The boiling point was measured at two different test laboratories. In both labs, the study was performed under GLP and in accordance with EU-testing method A.1. One study used a lower test substance quality and was therefore identified as supporting study. The key study showed a boiling point > 170°C at 101.3 kPa. Above 174°C, the substance started to decompose.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
170 °C
