Reference
Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: GLP Guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
thermal analysis
Remarks:
Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) / Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
Decomp. temp.:
> 140 - < 450 °C

From -100 °C up to 450 °C no melting point could be observed. Between approx. 140 °C and approx. 215 °C an exothermic reaction could be observed which could indicate decomposition of the test item. Between approx. 220 and approx. 290 °C additional endothermic effects were detected. From approx. 330 °C up to approx. 450 °C a further exothermic effect is visible. After the heating process a brownish residue remains in the crucible which indicates decomposition of the test item.

Conclusions:
From -100 °C up to 450 °C no melting point could be observed.
Executive summary:

According to EU Method A. 1 no melting point was observed from -100 °C up to 450 °C. Between approx. 140 °C and approx. 215 °C an exothermic reaction could be observed which could indicate decomposition of the test item. Between approx. 220 and approx. 290 °C additional endothermic effects were detected. From approx. 330 °C up to approx. 450 °C a further exothermic effect is visible. After the heating process a brownish residue remains in the crucible which indicates decomposition of the test item.

Description of key information
