Conclusions:
The test material was determined to have a melting temperature of greater than 723 K. The test material underwent loss of volatiles, most likely dehydration, from approximately 561 K. The thermal event was identified as not being associated with a phase transition (i.e. melting) of the test material.
This study was performed in accordance with an accepted method (EU Method A.1) and under the conditions of GLP.
This study is considered to be appropriate and reliable for use as a key study in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH). No further testing is required.
Executive summary:

INTRODUCTION

The melting/freezing temperature and water solubility of the test material have been determined.

Methods employed complied with those specified in Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008, Part A: Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties.

Testing was conducted between 06 October 2009 and 06 December 2009.

Method

The determination was carried out by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) using the procedure specified in ASTM E537-86, Method A1 Melting/Freezing Temperature ofCommissionRegulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

Result

Overall result (based on Determinations 1 and 2):

Melting temperature of greater than 450°C (>723 K). The test material underwent loss of volatile components from approximately 561 K.

Conclusion

The test material was determined to have a melting temperature of greater than 723 K. The test material underwent loss of volatiles, most likely dehydration, from approximately 561 K. The thermal event was identified as not being associated with a phase transition (i.e. melting) of the test material.
