Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 103 (Boiling point/boiling range)
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.2 (Boiling Temperature)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:

Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
ca. 330 °C
Remarks on result:
other: The test item started to decompose at at 330°C and the decomposition product started boiling at 398°C.

The DSC-measurement under nitrogen indicates an endothermic effect in the temperature range 90 -140°C (onset 117°C). The test item started melting. A 2nd endothermic effect was observed in the temperature range 350 -480°C due to decomposition and boiling of the substance. A black residue remained at the end of the test after cooling in the crucible. Approx. 86% of the material had volatilized from the crucible during the test. Measurements of the capillary method confirmed the results.

Conclusions:
As the substance started decomposing at approximately 330°C before boiling, no boiling point could be determined.
Executive summary:

The test item started to decompose at 330°C and the decomposition product started boiling at 398°C.

Description of key information

As Fatty acids, C16 -18, zinc salts started decomposing at approximately 330 °C before boiling, no boiling point could be determined.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
