Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Thermatographic data shown in the attached document

Conclusions:
The test item did not boil up to 400 °C (673 K) at 101.5 kPa by differential scanning calorimetry.
Executive summary:

Method

The determination was carried out by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A2 Boiling Temperature of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 103 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995.

Conclusion

The test item did not boil up to 400 °C (673 K) at 101.5 kPa by differential scanning calorimetry,

Description of key information

The test item did not boil up to 400 °C (673 K) at 101.5 kPa by differential scanning calorimetry (OECD 103 and EU Method A.2).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The test item did not boil up to 400 °C (673 K) at 101.5 kPa by differential scanning calorimetry. This property shows a correlation between molecular weight / chain length and boiling point and measured boiling points for methyl esters of fatty acids prove this correlation. Fatty acid esters of a molecular weight > 300 amu and aβ-hydrogen in the alcohol chain (≥ 3 C) have a boiling point > 300 °C and decompose before boilingThe justification for read-across is presented in Section 13 Assessment reports- Read-across justification.
