> 201 - < 202 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 1 013 hPa

Results:

Test

Melting range (C°)

1

202.0-203.6

2

199.8-200.6

Mean result to nearest 0.5 °C

201.0-202.0

In both tests the sample melted to a red liquid which solidified to a red solid on cooling.

Conclusions:
The melting temperature of the test substance was 201-202 °C (474-475 K) at ca. 1013 hPa.
Executive summary:

The melting point of the test item was determined according to the EC A.1 method in compliance with GLP. Using the capillary/metal block method, the melting temperature of the test substance was determined to be 201 -202 °C at ca. 1013 hPa.

Description of key information

The melting point was determined to be 201 - 202 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
201 °C

Additional information

The melting point of the substance was determined according to EEC Method A.1 (1984; metal block method).
