1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Deviations:
not specified
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
capillary method
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
> 186 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 101 325 Pa
Decomposition:
no
Remarks on result:
other: A Meniscus was formed at 205°C but some solids still remained and didn’t melt under 300°C. Therefore, the melting point of the test substance was considered to range from 186 to >300°C.

Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the melting point temperature of the test substance was determined to be 186- >300°C.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the melting point of the test substance, using a capillary method, according to OECD Guidleline 102, in compliance with GLP. A meniscus was formed at 205°C but some solids still remained and didn’t melt under 300°C. Under study conditions, the melting point temperature of the test substance was determined to be 186- >300°C (Scymaris, 2018).

Description of key information

The melting point of the test substance was determined using the capillary method, according to OECD Guideline 102 (Scymaris, 2018).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
186 °C

Additional information

melting point range: 186 - >300°C; as some solids still remained and didn’t melt under 300°C
