Specific details on test material used for the study:
SOURCE OF TEST MATERIAL

- CAS No.: 14306-25-3
- EC No.: 238-242-6
- Source and lot/batch No.of test material: NA2253
- Appearance: white solid powder
- Production date: June 2016
- Expiration date of the lot/batch: June 2019

STABILITY AND STORAGE CONDITIONS OF TEST MATERIAL

Final Results

The melting and boiling point of the test item dermofeel® PA-3 (dried) was determined via DSC (differential scanning calorimetry). In both DSC measurements one endothermic event was detected, this was evaluated with the onset function and can identified as melting point under these circumstances with:

53.57 ± 0.30 °C (326.72 ± 0.30 K)

 

These values are the means of two independent determinations.

In further process after melting an unsmooth baseline was visible and was probably supposed as a sign of decomposition. This was evaluated with the event marker function and beginning of decomposition should be stated as 71.27 °C (344.42 K).

No boiling point of the test item can be determined under these circumstances as the test item decomposed before boiling.

Conclusions:
Melting point evaluated by DSC: 53.57 ± 0.30 °C (326.72 ± 0.30 K)
Executive summary:

The melting and boiling point was determined according to OECD 102/103 via DSC (differential scanning calorimetry).

Two independent determinations have been performed. In both DSC measurements one endothermic event was detected, this was evaluated with

the onset function and can identified as melting point under these circumstances with:

53.57 ± 0.30 °C (326.72 ± 0.30 K)

Description of key information

Melting point is 53.57 ± 0.30 °C (326.72 ± 0.30 K) (OECD 102, DSC method).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
53.57 °C
