Materials and methods

Test guideline

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

OECD Guideline 103 (Boiling Point)

Principles of method if other than guideline:

The temperature accuracy of the DSC was checked prior to testing with indium and zinc. These were within defined tolerances and the DSC was therefore considered acceptable for use.

GLP compliance:

yes (incl. QA statement)

Type of method:

differential scanning calorimetry

Results and discussion

Boiling point

Key result

Atm. press.:

>= 99.8 - <= 102.7 kPa

Decomposition:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The temperature program range for determinations 5-8 was based on endotherm temperatures observed during preliminary evaluations (determinations 1-4) carried out using a temperature program of ambient to 400 °C at 20 °C/min. The test items all showed a significant loss of weight when subjected to the temperature program, leaving a black solid post heating, suggestive of decomposition.
The test item was run under a nitrogen atmosphere (determinations 5 and 6) and an air atmosphere (determinations 7 and 8), all 4 determinations obtained similar thermograms, indicating that the decomposition was probably thermal and not oxidative in nature.
During the investigations for melting point determination, the temperature program was limited to 250 °C, the resulting residue obtained was a pale amber shiny solid, with a 10% weight loss. This would conclude that a 50-80% weight loss is associated with temperatures 250 to 400 °C, with no significant thermal event. The melting point determinations, did show the start of decomposition above 230 °C .
It can therefore be concluded that the test item decomposed above 230 °C (503 K) preventing a boiling point from being obtained.

Executive summary:

The test item has been determined to decompose above 230 ± 0.5 °C (503 ± 0.5 K) at 99.8 to 102.7 kPa.

As the test item decomposed, no value for boiling point could be determined.
