Pre-study:


Peaks assigned to the boiling of the substance was observed and measurement was stopped at 250°C (Figure 1).


The initial boiling point of the substance was observed at 206.9°C.
A corresponding mass loss of 11.486 mg was observed between the beginning and the end of the boiling peak.


Temperature corresponding to this peak was used to create the following temperature program:

First Determination: 


Mass taken: 10.02 mg


Results: Initial boiling point was observed at 203.9°C (onset temperature of the peak) and a mass loss of 9.882 mg was observed between the beginning and the end of the boiling peak.
The crucible was visually checked after the determination: By opening the crucible, no test item left in the crucible and no sign of decomposition was observed.
Atmospheric pressure: 97.3 kPa.


 


Second Determination: 


Mass taken: 12.14 mg


Results: Initial boiling point was observed at 204.2°C (onset temperature of the peak) and a mass loss of 11.979 mg was observed between the beginning and the end of the boiling peak.
The crucible was visually checked after the determination: By opening the crucible, no test item left in the crucible and no sign of decomposition was observed.
Atmospheric pressure: 97.3 kPa.

Conclusions:
After correction using the Sydney Young equation, the initial boiling point of the substance was determined as 205.7°C at 101.3 kPa (mean of 205.6°C for the first determination and 205.9°C for the second determination).
Executive summary:

 A study was performed to determine the boiling point of the test item (+)-CAMPHOLENIC ALDEHYDE using the Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The method followed was designed to be compliant with Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.2. and OECD Test Guideline 103, "Boiling Point" (1995).


In this method, two crucibles were put in the apparatus furnace under inert atmosphere (nitrogen) at atmospheric pressure. One crucible contained the test item, the other was empty and considered as the reference. A specific temperature program was applied.
The crucibles were linked to two thermocouples fixed on the TG-DSC sample carrier. Heat flow differences between the two crucibles and mass variation were recorded on a thermogram.


Two trials were conducted and corresponding thermograms were obtained, giving us the following results:

The initial boiling point values respect validity criteria (less than 0.5°C of difference up to 326.85°C).
Moreover, the melting point of the Indium respects the checking cards limits (156.2°C for a reference value of 156.6°C) so as the enthalpy (30.32 J/g for a reference value of 28.6 J/g).


After correction using the Sydney Young equation, the initial boiling point of the substance was determined as 205.7 °C at 101.3 kPa (mean of 205.6 °C for the first determination and 205.9 °C for the second determination).

Description of key information

After correction using the Sydney Young equation, the initial boiling point of the substance was determined as 205.7°C at 101.3 kPa (mean of 205.6°C for the first determination and 205.9°C for the second determination).

Key value for chemical safety assessment
