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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Boiling point
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- boiling point
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a solid which melts above 300°C
- Conclusions:
- The boiling point study does not need to be conducted as the substance decomposes without boiling.
- Endpoint:
- boiling point
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- supporting study
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 103 (Boiling point/boiling range)
- Type of method:
- other: DSC
- Boiling pt.:
- > 103 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 981 mBar
- Conclusions:
- The test item shows a boiling (or/ and a thermal decomposition with evaporation of the decomposition components) from a subcomponent (ca. 11 wt. % - possibly water of crystallisation) earliest at ca. 103°C (at 981 mbar) according to the definition in the OECD guideline 103.

Description of key information
Boiling point: HEDP salt melts above 450°C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The requirement to conduct a boiling point study for the substance is waived because the substance has a melting temperature of >450°C. This statement is supported by a recent, reliable DSC test which demonstrates that the parent HEDP acid does not melt below 450°C. The DSC thermograms show evidence of loss of water at about 100°C. Salts would also be expected to undergo thermal loss of water as the parent acid. This conclusion is supported by available data for HEDP-4Na which indicates that the test substance undergoes loss of water from 103°C at 981 mBar.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
