Any other information on results incl. tables
First test results
The heat flow record showed an endothermic effect between 37 °C and 73 °C, with peak at 67 °C and onset at 66 °C. The melting point is 66 °C.
Second test results
The heat flow record showed an endothermic effect between 36 °C and 74 °C, with peak at 67 °C and onset at 66 °C. The melting point is 66 °C.
Conclusion
The melting temperature of the test item is 66 °C (the mean of two measurements).
Applicant's summary and conclusion
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
