Preliminary Test

The DSC curve of the preliminary test (heating rate of 20 °C/min from 25 °C to 400 °C) showed there were no endothermic heat effects observed from which boiling could be deduced. An exothermic reaction could be observed starting at about 250 °C caused by the decomposition of the test material. After the experiment, the sample was still a powder but changed its colour to black and lost about 27 % of its mass.

 

Main Test

To confirm the results of the preliminary test, a further DSC run was performed. A test material amount of 3.59 g was heated up from 25 °C to 400 °C at a rate of 10 °C/min. No endothermic reaction could be observed from which boiling could be deduced. An exothermic reaction could be observed starting at about 250 °C caused by the decomposition of the test material. After the experiment the sample had lost about 31 % of its mass and the sample was a black powder.

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study the test material did not boil.
Executive summary:

The boiling temperature of the test material was assessed according to OECD Test Guideline 103 and EU Method A.2 and in compliance with GLP using a Differential Scanning Calorimeter.

Additional information

The boiling temperature of the test material was assessed according to OECD Test Guideline 103 and EU Method A.2 and in compliance with GLP using a Differential Scanning Calorimeter. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
