Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
17 July 2009 to 30 July 2009
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
Study conducted in compliance with agreed protocols, with no or minor deviations from standard test guidelines and/or methodological deficiencies, which do not affect the quality of the relevant results. The study report was conclusive and done to a valid guideline.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
thermal analysis
Remarks:
Differential Scanning Calorimetry
Melting / freezing pt.:
> 723 K
Remarks on result:
other: The test material did not melt at temperatures up to 723 K

The absence of any significant thermal event indicated that there were no changes in the physical state of the test material over the temperature range of 25 to 450 °C. The melting temperature of the test material has been determined to be > 723 ± 0.5 K.

Conclusions:
The melting temperature of MnO2 has been determined to be > 723 ± 0.5 K (> 450°C).
Executive summary:

The melting point of the test material was investigated in a study which was conducted in accordance with the standardised guideline EU Method A.1.

Under the conditions of the study the melting temperature of the test material was determined to be in excess of 723 K.
