Remarks on result:
other: Boiling of the test substance was not observed below the temperature at which reaction and/or decomposition started.

Preliminary test: 1.80 mg test substance was heated at a rate of 20°C/minute from 25°C to 393°C. At this point 70% weight loss of the test substance was observed. After the experiment, the sample was cooled to 50°C and the consistency of the test substance was determined.

The experiments were performed under a flow if nitrogen and at atmospheric pressure.

Conclusions:
Reaction and/or decomposition of the test substance was observed at temperatures of > 325°C (> 598K). Boiling of the test substance was not observed below the temperature at which reaction and/or decomposition started. Based on this, the test substance has no boiling temperature.
Executive summary:

Study performed in accordance with European Community (EC), EC no. 440/2008, Part A: Methods for the Determination of Physico-Chemical Properties, Guideline A.2: “Boiling Temperature”, OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals no. 103: "Boiling Point" and United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Product Properties Test Guidelines no. OPPTS 830.7220: "Boiling Point/Boiling Range". The study was performed in compliance with the Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP).

 

The boiling temperature of 6,6’-di-tert-butyl-4,4’-butylidenedi-m-cresol was determined using DSC.

 

Reaction and/or decomposition of the test substance was observed at temperatures of > 325°C (> 598K). Boiling of the test substance was not observed below the temperature at which reaction and/or decomposition started. Based on this, the test substance has no boiling temperature.
