Melting / freezing pt.:
< -60 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 1 013 hPa
Decomposition:
no

Any other information on results incl. tables

No endotherm relating to a melting temperature was observed, the melting point was

< -60°C. A relatively broad endotherm was seen starting at a mean temperature of 276°C (279.58°C test 1, 272.69°C test 2) suggesting boiling and decomposition. A dark brown residue remained in the crucibles at the end of the test. The thermograms are shown in Figure 11 and Figure 12 (attached).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The melting / freezing point of the test substance was found to be <-60 °C at 1013 hPa, under the conditions of the test.
Executive summary:

In this guideline (OECD 102) study, [conducted with GLP certification], the melting point of the test substance (EC 7147-34-4) was found to be <-60 °C at 1013 hPa.
