Boiling pt.:
218.1 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 1 013 hPa

There are no values given for pressure but assumed to be measured at normal pressure (1013 hPa). No information is given on specification on decomposition/sublimation temperature.

Conclusions:
The boiling point of EDGA was determined to be 218.1 °C.
Executive summary:

The boiling point of the substance 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethyl acetate (CAS 112-15-2) was determined according to OECD Guideline 103 and resulted in a value of 218.1°C.
