Remarks on result:
other: The test substance has no boiling point at atmospheric pressure (1013 hPa) as it decomposes firstly at a temperature >160°C.

First test series:

RT-80°C:In the temperature range of 42-70°C an endothermic effect was detected. At 80°C the test substance was still solid and its colour was unchanged. No mass loss of could be measured.

RT-140°C:In the temperature range of 35-85°Can endothermic effect was detected. In the temperature range of approx. 125-135°C a very small exothermal effect could be measured, which can be neglected due to its slight energy of <10 J/g. At 140°C the test substance was still solid and its colour was still slightly yellow. A slight mass loss of 0.09 mg (0.4%) could be measured.

RT-210°C:In the temperature range of 40-85°C an endothermic effect was detected. The measurement showed an exothermal effect in the temperature range of 165-210°C. At 210 °C the colour of the test substance changed to black and a minor mass loss of 1.79 mg (6%) could be measured.

RT-240°C:In the temperature range of 35-70°C an endothermic effect was detected. The measurement showed an exothermal effect in the temperature range of 170-200°C, directly followed by a second endothermic effect in the temperature range of 200-240°C. At 240 °C the colour of the test substance changed to black and a mass loss of 25.26 mg (94%) could be measured.

RT-300°C:In the temperature range of 45-85°C an endothermic effect was detected. The measurement showed an exothermal effect in the temperature range of 165-200°C, directly followed by a second endothermic effect in the temperature range of 200-255°C. At 300°C the colour of the test substance changed to black and a mass loss of 22.51 mg (95%) could be measured.

 

Second test series:

0-80 -0-140-0 -210-25°C: During heating up from 0°C to 80°C an endothermic effect in the temperature range of 30-80°C was observed. During cooling down from 80°C to 0°C neither endothermic nor exothermic effects were observed. During heating up again from 0°C to 140°C an endothermic signal was observed at 70-80°C two small exothermal effects in the temperature range of 105-130°C. During cooling down again from 140°C to 0°C neither endothermic nor exothermic effects were observed. During the subsequent heating up to 210°C an endothermic effect could be observed in the temperature range of 70-85°C and an exothermal effect could be observed in the temperature range of approximately 160-210°C. The cooling down to 25°C showed no thermal effect. A mass loss of 3.26 mg (13%) could be measured.

0-240-25°C: During heating up from 0°C to 240°C an endothermic effect in the temperature range from 35- 85°C could be observed. In the temperature range of approximately 1 20-130°C a small exothermal effect was detected. In the temperature range of 160-215°C a second exothermal effect was observed. During cooling down from 240°C to 25°C neither endothermic nor exothermic effects were observed. A mass loss of 28.25 mg (93%) could be measured.

0-300-25 °C: During heating up from 0°C to 300°C an endothermic effect in the temperature range from 35-85°C could be observed. In the temperature range of 160-195°C an exothermal effect was observed, directly followed by a second endothermic effect in the temperature range of 195-250°C. During cooling down from 300°C to 25°C neither endothermic nor exothermic effects were observed. A mass loss of 23.50 mg (94%)

Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the test substance has no boiling point at atmospheric pressure (1013 hPa) as the test substance undergoes decomposition before boiling at >160°C.

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the boiling point of test substance, Coco TMAC (98.4% active), was determined using differential scanning calorimetry, according to OECD 103 and EU Method A.2 Guidelines, in compliance with GLP. Under the study conditions, the test substance has no boiling point at atmospheric pressure (1013 hPa) as the test substance undergoes decomposition before boiling at >160°C (Möller, 2012).

Description of key information

No boiling point could be determined as the test substance undergoes decomposition before boiling at >160 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The boiling point was determined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) according to OECD Guideline 103 and EU Method A.2 (Möller, 2012).
