Conclusions:
The average value of the melting point of the test substance was determined to be 321.72 ± 0.21 K under atmospheric pressure of 102.1 kPa.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the melting point of the test substance according to EU Method A.1. using a capillary tube in a heated metal block. A dried finely ground sample was placed in a capillary tube. The measurements were performed in three parallel tubes using BŐCHI Melting Point 545 apparatus. The measurements were performed in the temperature range of 311.15 K – 326.15 K with a temperature gradient of 0.5 K/min. Initially, the temperature was increased at a rate of 3 K/min. The average value of the melting point was determined to be 321.72 ± 0.21 K under atmospheric pressure (102.1 kPa) (Olszewska, 2010).

Description of key information

The melting point was determined according to EU Method A.1 (Olszewska, 2010).
