Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to 92/69/EWG method A.1 to determine the melting point of the test item using the capillary method. The substance was filled in a capillary and was heated at a rate of 0.5 °C/min between 52 °C and 62 °C. The melting point was determined to be 55.0 °C.

Description of key information

The test item had a melting point of 55.0 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
55 °C

Additional information

The determination of the melting point / melting range range was carried out by the capillary method. The substance was filled in a capillary and the filling height was 4 -5 mm. The substance was heated at a rate of 0.5 °C/min between 52 °C and 62 °C and the melting point was determined by a Büchi B545 device.
