Test item was a solidified melt

 


The test item had a melting range of 85 - 110 °C.

Conclusions:
The DSC measurements (25 - 500 °C) showed that the test item had a melting range of 85 - 110 °C.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to OECD test guideline 102, Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.1. The  melting range was determined by differential scanning calorimetry. The test item and the reference are heated up from the starting temperature to the final temperature at a constant heating rate in a defined atmosphere (nitrogen). Open crucibles are used as containers for the test item and as empty reference crucible. The quantity of heat absorbed or released is measured and recorded. The DSC measurements showed that the test item had a melting point in the range 85 -110 °C.

Description of key information

A study was conducted according to OECD test guideline 102, Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.1. The melting point / melting range was determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC 25 - 500 °C). The test item and the reference are heated up from the starting temperature to the final temperature at a constant heating rate in a defined atmosphere (nitrogen). Open crucibles are used as containers for the test item and as empty reference crucible. The quantity of heat absorbed or released is measured and recorded. The test item had a melting range of 85 - 110 °C under atmospheric conditions.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
