Specific details on test material used for the study:
Identification: FAT 40557/A
Batch-no.: PV1
Expiration date: September, 2002
Storage conditions: in a closed bottle at room temperature
Melting / freezing pt.:
> 400 °C
Atm. press.:
1 atm

Preliminary test: The sample changes the colour from ca. 50-80 °C up to 200° from red brown to black.


Main test: When the test substance tube is inserted into the metal block at 385°C the test substance becomes black.


For results > 400 °C, the melting point correction is irrelevant.

Conclusions:
Melting point of the test substance is >400°C.
Executive summary:

In a GLP-compliant study performed according to EC method A.1 using capillary method. In preliminary test the sample changes the colour from ca. 50-80 °C up to 200° from red-brown to black. While in main test when the test subtance tube is inserted into the metal block at 385 °C the test substance becomes black. For results >400 °C, the melting point correction is irrelevant. Based on the study results, the melting point of FAT 40557/A was determined to be >400 °C.

Description of key information

Melting point of the test substance is >400 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
400 °C
