Reference
Endpoint:
boiling point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
01-12-2016 – 02-12-2016
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Justification for type of information:
Experimental test result performed using standard OECD test guidelines.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 103 (Boiling Point/Boiling Range)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
A sample is heated gradually in a tube which is immersed in a liquid bath. The sample tube is held in close contact with a thermometer and it contains a boiling capillary which is
fused about1 cm above its lower end. Upon approach of the boiling temperature bubbles emerge rapidly from the lower open end of the capillary. The boiling temperature is that
temperature at which, on momentary cooling, the string of bubbles stops and liquid suddenly rises in the capillary.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
method according to Siwoloboff

Conclusions:
The boiling point determination of test chemical was done following OECD Guideline 103 and according to the method of Siwoloboff. The test was conducted in replicates and mean boiling point was determine to be 256.3°C at 977.7 hPa.

Executive summary:

The boiling point determination of test item was done as per the test guideline OECD 103. The method followed was according to Siwoloboff. The mean boiling point was determine to be 256.3°C at 977.7 hPa.

Description of key information

The boiling point determination of test item was done as per the test guideline OECD 103. The method followed was according to Siwoloboff. The mean boiling point was dertermine to be 256.3°C at 977.7 hPa.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
265.61 °C

Additional information

The boiling point determination of test item was done as per the test guideline OECD 103. The method followed was according to Siwoloboff. The mean boiling point was determine to be 256.3°C at 977.7 hPa.

Based on the data from other supporting studies from various reliable sources such as authoritative databases and handbooks, the boiling point of test chemical was determined to be in the range of 255 to 256 °C. Thus, for the purpose of chemical safety assessment we will consider the key study value which is reported as 256.3 °C at 977.7 hPa. This boiling point value when converted at 101 325 Pa is equivalent to 265.61°C.
