The test substance has been determined to decompose at 513 K (240 °C) at 98.0 kPa, prior to boiling.

The decomposition was confirmed by DSC.

Executive summary:

The boiling point of the test substance was determined under GLP according to OECD 103/EU A2 guideline, Siwoloboff (capillary) method.

Two main runs were performed, and the mean final temperature was retained.

The test substance has been determined to decompose, based on colour change, from 513 K (240 °C) at 98.0 kPa, prior to boiling. The decomposition was confirmed by DSC.

Description of key information

The substance starts to decompose from ca 240°C (based on colour change) before boiling.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

A reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized OECD/EC method and under GLP, is available. Despite minor restrictions on accuracy, it is considered as a key study. As the substance decomposes prior to boiling, no value is retained as key data.
