Remarks on result:
other: mean of two measurements

During the heating phase a distinct endothermic effect was observed in the temperature range of 140 – 160 °C, which can be associated with the melting of the test item. As the onset temperatures (146.39 and 146.49 °C) in both tests do not deviate more than 0.5 K from their mean value of 146.44 °C, this temperature can be used as melting point.

Conclusions:
According to OECD Guideline 102 (1995) and Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 Method A.1., the substance has a melting point of 146.4 °C.

Description of key information

The substance has a melting point of 146.4 °C at atmospheric pressure (1004 hPa).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
146.4 °C
