Results

All the raw data (calibration, pre-test and main tests) is in the experimental report.

Pre-study

Melting range: -70.2 to -37.6°C

Main tests:

Melting range was observed between -73.0 °C (onset temperature of the first melting peak) and -17.3 °C (top of the last melting peak).

Melting range was observed between -72.8 °C (onset temperature of the first melting peak) and -18.0 °C (top of the last melting peak).

The crucibles was visually checked after the determination: By opening the crucible, no test item left in the crucible.

Conclusion

The melting range of the substance was determined as -72.9 °C to -17.6 °C.

Conclusions:
The melting range of the substance was determined as -72.9 °C to -17.6 °C.
Executive summary:

The study was performed in order to determine the melting point of test item according to OECD 102, resp. EU A.1 guideline, using the DSC method.

Description of key information

Melting range: -72.9 °C to -17.6 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to OECD 102/ EU A1 guideline is available.

It is considered as a key study and the result is retained as key data.
