Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Executive summary:

According to Knovel (2003) the distillation point of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane is 99.2 °C.

Description of key information

No data is available for isooctane. However, data is available for 2,2,4-trimethylpentane and is being read across to using an analogue approach. A discussion and report on the read across strategy is given as an attachment in IUCLID Section 13.

The boiling range of 2,2,4 -trimethylpentane is 87 to 100°C at atmospheric pressure.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No data is available for isooctane. However, data is available for 2,2,4 -trimethylpentane and is being read across to using an analogue approach.A discussion and report on the read across strategy is given as an attachment in IUCLID Section 13.

Boiling point is measured at atmospheric pressure using ISO 3405 method. A range of 87 to 100°C covers all possible grades within this substance description if measured with the agreed method. Knovel (2003) gives a value of 99.2°C falling within this borderline values.
