Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Boiling temperature: Literature value: 2080°C
The boiling point determination by DSC has an upper temperature limit at approx. 600°C (aluminium crucibles with defined orifice). Therefore, the experimental determination of the boiling temperature is not possible with lab equipment.
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
other: handbook

Results and discussion

Boiling point
Boiling pt.:
ca. 2 080 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 1 atm

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Sufficient to conclude on endpoint as the study does not need to be conducted for solids which either melt above 300°C or decompose before boiling (Column 2 of Annex VII REACH regulation)..
Executive summary:

Boiling point is 2080°C
