Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

12.03.2018 - 22.03.2018

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study

Justification for type of information:

Guideine study as required by REACH regulation 1907/2006

Deviations:

no

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.2 (Boiling Temperature)

Specific details on test material used for the study:

SOURCE OF TEST MATERIAL
- Source and lot/batch No.of test material: Batch no: 06386
- Expiration date of the lot/batch: June 2020
- Purity test date: July 2017

Key result

Decomposition:

yes

Decomp. temp.:

ca. 130 °C

Remarks on result:

not determinable

Remarks:

decomposition of the test item before the boiling point is reached.

Conclusions:

Determination of the boiling point is not possible because of decomposition of the test item before the boiling point is reached.

Beginning decomposition of the item should be stated as 130 °C.

Executive summary:

This study was performed according to OECD 103 resp.EU A.2 in order to determine the boiling point of the test item.

The boiling point study of the test item was performed with the Siwoloboffmethod.

In the pre-tests strong reaction of the test item during heating up was observed, indicated by strong pulsating of the test item ending up in superheating.

For safety reason no further test was performed as strong superheating is a high risk for the involved persons.

Signs for beginning boiling were observed since 121 °C (lowest value); because of the pulsating and the following superheating no boiling chain could be observed. The observed pulsating with following superheating may indicate a dissociate process.

Therefore the determination of the boiling point is not possible because of decomposition of the test item before the boiling point is reached.

Beginning decomposition of the item should be stated as 130 °C under these circumstances.

These values are the result of two independent Pre-tests.

 According to the requirements following REACH, Annex VII, 7.3 “Boiling Point” the third point, the boiling point study has not to be conducted for substances which decompose before boiling. Therefore, the result of the study is considered valid.
