Results
In the thermograms of the two DSC runs (nos. PN7334 and PN7336) an endothermic effect (melting) was observed in the temperature range of 30 – 60 °C. Between 150 - 290 °C a second endothermic effect (boiling) could be detected.

The distinct endothermic effect in the temperature range of 30 – 60 °C can be associated with the melting of the test item. As the onset temperatures in both tests do not deviate by more than 0.5 K from their mean value of 36.44 °C, this temperature can be used a melting point. The test item has a melting point of 36.4 °C.
Final Results
The test item has a melting point of 36.4 °C at atmospheric pressure (1013 hPa) as determined by differential scanning calorimetry according to Directive EC40/2008 Method A.1., OECD Test Guideline 102 (1995), EPA OCSPP 830.7200 (1998) and CIPAC MT 1 (2009).
