Type of method:
differential scanning calorimetry
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
< -20 °C

No additional test was conducted as in the pre-test the test substance was still unfrozen and liquid at -20°C.

Pre-test result:

-80°C: Solid

-19.8°C: Unfrozen as the surface was still sticking

3.8°C: Liquid, test item stuck on the wire.

According to Annex VII, column 2 if the EU Regulation1907/2006 (Reach) the determination of the melting- / freezing point does not need to be conducted below a lower limit of - 20 °C.

Therefore, no additional test was conducted and the freezing / and or melting point is stated as:

< - 20 °C (< 253.15 K).

Conclusions:
The melting point of pyrolytic sugar was found to be <-20°C (<253.15K)
Executive summary:

The aim of the study was to determine the melting point of the test item by differential scanning calorimetry, in correspondance with OECD guideline 102. First a pre-test has been conducted. In the pre-test it was shown that the test item was frozen at -80°C.

Therefore, in accordance to Annex VII, column 2 if the EU Regulation1907/2006 (Reach) no further determination of the melting- / freezing point was conducted since the melting point will be below - 20 °C.

Therefore, no additional test was conducted and the freezing / and or melting point is stated as: < -20°C (< 253.15K).
