Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a solid which decomposes before boiling

Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
194.5 °C
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
195 °C
Remarks on result:
other: Decomposition started during melting.

DSC EXPERIMENT 1

Endothermic peak between 175°C and 200°C (extrapolated onset temperature: 194.505°C) directly followed by an exothermic effect starting at 200°C. The endothermic effect was most likely obtained due to melting of the test item. The exothermic effect was probably obtained due to reaction and/or decomposition of the test item. After the experiment, a dark brown molten residue remained in the sample container (original colour: light tan). 

DSC EXPERIMENT 2

In order to investigate the melting peak, Experiment 2 was stopped directly after the endothermic peak.  Extrapolated onset temperature: 194.545°C. After the experiment, a light yellow molten residue remained in the sample container. The change of the colour indicated reaction and/or decomposition of the test item. 

 

DATA HANDLING

The melting temperature was determined as the mean extrapolated onset temperature of Experiment 1 and Experiment 2.

Conclusions:
The melting temperature of the substance was determined to be 194.5°C.
Executive summary:

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) experiments were performed in a GLP study according to EC A.1, OECD 102 and OPPTS 830.7200.

The melting temperature of the substance was determined in duplicate obtaining a mean value of 194.5°C. Reaction and/or decomposition of the substance started during melting.
