Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Physical state: liquid
- Storage condition of test material: refrigerator (0-10°C) under nitrogen
Atm. press.:
98 kPa
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
ca. 294 °C

Individual measurements: (1) 567 K, (2) 572 K.

Accuracy not specified.

Executive summary:

The boiling point of the test substance was determined under GLP according to OECD103/EU A2 guideline, Siwoloboff (capillary) method.

Two main runs were performed, and the lower temperature was retained.

The test material has been determined to decompose from approximately 294 °C, prior to boiling at a pressure of 98.0 kPa.

Description of key information

Decomposition before boiling, from ca 294°C. (experimental)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

A reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized OECD/EC method and under GLP, is available. Despite minor restrictions on accuracy, it is considered as a key study. As decomposition was observed, no key value can be retained.
