Any other information on results incl. tables

The results of duplicate melting point determinations of L-TME at different melting stages (A-E) were as follows:

Sample I: 56.0 (A); 62.5 (B); 65.5 (C); 66.5 (D); 67.0 (E)

Sample II: 56.0 (A); 62.5 (B); 65.0 (C); 66.0 (D); 67.0 (E)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
L-TME melts over the range 56 to 67°C.
Executive summary:

The melting point of L-TME was measured in accordance to OECD 102 using the capillary method. From duplicate melting point determinations, it was concluded that L-TME melts over the range 56 to 67°C.
