- no
- Sublimation:
- no
- Remarks on result:
- other: ± 0.14°C (95% confidence interval)
- Conclusions:
- The melting range of the test item was found to be 128.5°C ± 0.14°C (95% confidence interval), i.e. 401.7 K.
- Executive summary:
The study was conducted in accordance with OECD test guidelines n. 102 and EU method A.1, using the capillary method. No change of colour or other changes suggesting degradation were observed during the main test. The melting range of the test item was found to be 128.5°C ± 0.14°C (95% confidence interval), i.e. 401.7 K.
Reference
The melting point expressed in Kelvin is 401.7 K.

Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
