Conclusions:
The melting point of the test substance was determined to be 152.5 °C.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to EU method A.1 (1992) to determine the melting point of the test item using the capillary method. The test was heated up from the starting temperature to the final temperature at a constant heating rate in the apparatus. The test item had a melting point of 152.5 °C (1013 hPa).

Description of key information

The melting point of the test substance was determined to be 152.5 °C (reference 4.2-1).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
152.5 °C
