OBSERVATIONS

The temperature, at which the test chemical started melting and the temperature at which it completely melted, was recorded. The readings are taken in replicate and final value was a result of mean of six values.

 

    Method Details  Observations
 Grinding of Test item done    Not required
 Atmospheric pressure hPa  964.2 hPa 
 Decomposition Decomposition temperature (°C), if applicable   No
 Sublimation Sublimation temperature (°C), if applicable  No 
 Mean Melting Point(C)(RESULT)  °C  165.3-170.8 ° C
Conclusions:
Mean melting temperature range of test chemical was observed to be 165.3- 170.8 °C at 964.2 hPa.
Executive summary:

A study was performed to determine the melting point of test chemical, in atmospheric pressure. The study was conducted in accordance with OECD 102 Guideline for testing of chemicals, for Melting Point Adopted by Council on 27th July1995. Mean melting temperature range of test chemical was observed to be 165.3- 170.8 °C at 964.2 hPa.

Description of key information
