Preliminary test

- Melting point: 215°C

Calibration

- Melting point saccharin: 228°C (in all 3 determinations)

Main test

- Melting point determination #1: between 218°C and 220°C

- Melting point determination #2: between 218°C and 220°C

- Melting point determination #3: 220°C

Conclusions:
The melting range of the substance (a solid under ambient conditions) is >=218°C - <= 220°C at 94.7 kPa, determined by the Kofler hot bar method in accordance with OECD 102, EU Method A.1 and GLP.

Description of key information

The melting range of the substance is >= 218°C - <= 220°C at 94.7 kPa.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
218 °C

Additional information

The melting range of the substance is determined by the Kofler hot bar method in accordance with OECD 102, EU Method A.1 and GLP.
