Reference

Endpoint:

boiling point

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

26-28 August 2002

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

OECD Guideline 103 (Boiling Point)

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.2 (Boiling Temperature)

GLP compliance:

yes (incl. QA statement)

Other quality assurance:

other: In-house quality assurance: study was periodically inspected and properly signed records of inspections were submitted to testing facility management and the study director; report has been audited by the Quality Assurance Unit.

Type of method:

differential scanning calorimetry

Key result

Boiling pt.:

109 °C

Atm. press.:

101.3 kPa

Decomposition:

no

Remarks:

No decomposition is evident from the thermogram

In both tests, an endothermal boiling peak was observed.

The measured temperatures are summarized in the following table.

Measured temperatures	1st test	2ndtest	Mean
Atmospheric pressure [mbar]	1013*	1014*	---
Amount of test substance [mg]	18.06	15.38	---
Start temperature [K / °C]	298 / 25	298 / 25	298 / 25
Heating rate [K/min]	5.0	5.0	5.0
Onset temperature [endothermal boiling] (K / °C)	382 / 109	382 / 109	382 / 109

* Because the results are given without decimals, the atmospheric pressure correction was not neccessary.

Summing up it can be said, that the test substance C-Quart has an exact boiling point. The measured value is only valid for the available concentration of the test substance. The boiling point stems from the boiling of the water which is a major component (43%; m/m) of the test substance. The precission of the DSC measurement is specified in the guideline to be ± 0.5°C. This precission is only valid for pure test substances but not for mixtures. Nevertheless it is added to the result of this study.

Conclusions:

The boiling point of the test item is 109 °C.

Executive summary:

The boiling point of the test item was determined by differential scanning calorimetry in a GLP study according to EU test method A.2 and OECD testing guideline 103. The boiling point of the test item is 109 °C.
