Description of key information
Several effects >50 °C. No boiling point was observed.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The boiling point of the test substance was subject to a guideline study (OECD TG 103, EU method A.2). Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) curves were measured. No single boiling point of the test substance was observed. Above 50°C, several effects were observed, which were due to melting, evaporation and/or reaction/decomposition of small fractions of the test substance.
In fact, analytical comparison of substance samples before and after heating to and storage at 150 °C did not show any evidence of decomposition.
