Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
From June 30, 1999 to October 05, 1999
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
thermal analysis
Remarks:
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
Melting / freezing pt.:
> 400 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 1 013 hPa
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
>= 100 - <= 340 °C
Remarks on result:
other: No melting point in the temperature range of 25-400 °C was observed. Exothermic decomposition was observed in the range of 100-340 °C.
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, the test substance shows no melting point in the temperature range of 25-400 °C only an exothermic decomposition beginning at 100 °C.
Executive summary:

The melting point/range of the test substance was determined in accordance with the EU Method A.1. in compliance with GLP.

The test performed by using DSC, Mettler-Toledo TA8000, in a closed glass pan.

Two measurements in a closed glass pan does not show any endothermic effect prior an exothermal decomposition was observed in the range 100-340 °C, with a decomposition energy of 691 J/g respectively 636 J/g.

Under the test conditions, the test substance shows no melting point in the temperature range of 25-400 °C only an exothermic decomposition beginning at 100 °C.

Description of key information

The test substance shows no melting point in the temperature range of 25-400 °C only an exothermic decomposition beginning at 100 °C

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The melting point/range of the test substance was determined in accordance with the EU Method A.1.

Two measurements in a closed glass pan does not show any endothermic effect prior an exothermal decomposition was observed in the range 100-340 °C, with a decomposition energy of 691 J/g respectively 636 J/g. The test substance shows no melting point in the temperature range of 25-400 °C only an exothermic decomposition beginning at 100 °C (Smeykal H, 1999).
