- Remarks on result:
- other: standard deviation: ±1°C
- Conclusions:
- melting point: : 255.0°C - 259.5°C at 954 hPa.
The test item is solid at ambient temperature and pressure. - Executive summary:
The Melting point of test item was determined according to EU method A.1. / OECD 102 guideline (using capillary method) and under GLP as between 255.0 and 259.5°C at 954 hPa
Reference
The apparatus is designed to determine the melting points of single or mixed solids with recommended maximum melting point of up to 350°C.
It is possible to use the apparatus to determine melting points to a temperature of 450°C although accuracy is impaired. Resolution: 0.1 °C of accuracy, ± 1°C at 350°C.
A heater block is monitored by a type "K" thermocouple linked to an advanced solid state temperature measuring circuit.
Capillary tubes are used. The test item is crunched before use if necessary. Capillary tubes containing the test item are inserted into the heating block.
The rate of heating is 1°C to 2°C per minute until the melting point is observed. The test is performed three times.
The melting point or the melting range of temperatures indicated in this report is the mean of the three assays.
As the difference in temperature between the start and the end of melting is out off the limits of accuracy of the method, a melting range is reported.
Description of key information
melting point : 255.0–259.5°C at 954 hPa.
The test item is solid at ambient temperature and pressure.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized OECD/EC method and under GLP, is available. It is considered as a key study.
