Pressure in Pa

First determination

Second determination

201.3 °C (474.5 K)

Mean

202.5°C (475.6 K)

 

Mean ± standard deviation (without correction following Sydney Young) = 202.5 ± 1.6 °C (475.6 ± 1.6 K).

Conclusions:
The determination of the boiling point of test item was performed following the Siwoloboff Method.
First sign of possibly decomposition indicated by a colourless condensate and colour change were observed since 188°C.
Therefore the boiling point of test item should be stated as: 202.5 ± 1.6 °C (475.6 ± 1.6 K) under decomposition of the test item.
This value is the mean of two independent determinations without Sydney-Young correction.
Executive summary:

The study was performed in order to determine the boiling point of test item according to OECD 103, resp. EU A.2, guideline, using the Siwoloboff method.

The boiling point of test item should be stated as: 202.5 ± 1.6 °C (475.6 ± 1.6 K) under decomposition of the test item.

Description of key information

The boiling point of test item should be stated as: 202.5 ± 1.6 °C (475.6 ± 1.6 K) under decomposition of the test item.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
202.5 °C

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to OECD 103/ EU A2 guideline is available.

It is considered as a key study, and the result is retained as key data.
