other: The test item changed from brown, to dark brown, to black over the temperature range 132 °C to 320 °C.

Results of pre test:

Observations

Temperature

Test item in aluminium block

23.8 °C

Melting began under decomposition, colour

was darker

132 °C

               

Melting end under decomposition, colour

was darker

133 °C

After melting, colour brown

137 °C

Colour a bit darker

240 °C

Colour strong darker

319 °C

Colour dark brown nearly to black

320 °C

Heating up to 390 °C as the test item was black. The test item decomposed.

 

In the pre-test, the test item showed signs of decomposition during melting process indicated by colour change.

The determination of melting and boiling point of the test item AF-317 could not be determined because of decomposition during melting process.

Description of key information

Melting began during decomposition (indicated by a darkening in colour), starting at 132 °C and ending at 133 °C (OECD 102, pre-test, capillary tube).

Key value for chemical safety assessment
