Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- melting point/freezing point
- Type of information:
- experimental study

- key study
- Study period:
- 05 September 2016 to 05 September 2016
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
- Deviations:
- no
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
- Deviations:
- no

- Type of method:
- capillary method
- Key result
- Melting / freezing pt.:
- > 400 °C
- Decomposition:
- ambiguous
- Remarks on result:
- other: No melting point was observed up to 400 ºC, but the colour of test item changed from initial yellow to firstly brown then black.
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study no melting point was observed up to 400 ºC.
- Executive summary:
The melting point of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 102 and EU Method A.1 under GLP conditions.
For the determination of the melting point or melting range, the capillary method was used. A small amount of the test item was heated in the electronic controlled sample block and the temperature around the sample was displayed. The sample was observed visually while raising the temperature. The initial and final melting temperatures were determined.
No melting point was observed up to 400 ºC, but the colour of the test item changed from initial yellow to firstly brown then black.
Reference
No melting point was observed up to 400 ºC, but the colour of test item changed from initial yellow to firstly brown then black.
Description of key information
Under the conditions of the study, no melting point was observed up to 400 ºC.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- 400 °C
Additional information
The melting point of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 102 and EU Method A.1 under GLP conditions. The study was assigned a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria for assessing data quality set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
