Specific details on test material used for the study:

SOURCE OF TEST MATERIAL
- Source: provided by test material
- Lot/ Batch no.: 150701
- Expiration date of the lot/batch: 14 July 2017

STABILITY AND STORAGE CONDITIONS OF TEST MATERIAL
- Storage condition of test material: Controlled room temperature (15-25 °C , below 70 RH%), protected from humidity, under inert gas.

Key result

Atm. press.:

985 hPa

Decomposition:

yes

Decomp. temp.:

ca. 300 °C

Remarks on result:

other: No boiling point was observed

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of the study, no boiling point of the test material was observed up to 400 °C therefore the test material has no boiling point.

Executive summary:

The boiling point of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines EU Method A.2 and OECD 103 under GLP conditions.

The capillary method was used to asses the boiling point of the test material. A small amount of the test material was heated in the electronic controlled sample block and the temperature around the sample was displayed. The sample was observed visually while raising the temperature. The test material was assessed visually for any possible changes in its appearance, consistency and colour. The main test was carried out from 290 °C to 305 °C with 0.5 °C/min heating rate using 3 parallel determinations with 2 capillaries for each. At around 292 °C the test material browned and slow bubbling can be observed, at approximately 300 °C the test item became dark brown and the bubbling almost stopped. The three parallel experiments show the same behaviour.

Under the conditions of the study, no boiling point of the test material was observed up to 400 °C therefore the test material has no boiling point.

Additional information

The boiling point of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines EU Method A.2 and OECD 103 under GLP conditions. The study was assigned a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria for assessing data quality set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
