GLP compliance:

not specified

Type of method:

pour point

Specific details on test material used for the study:

No details on the test material is available, nevertheless from the result it can be concluded, that a highly pure substance of more then 98 % w/w must have been used.

Melting / freezing pt.:

>= 21 - <= 22 °C

Decomposition:

no

Sublimation:

no

Remarks on result:

other: No data on pressure

Conclusions:

The melting point of 21-22°C for a substance with more than 98% purity qualifies the substance as a solid. Nevertheless many technical qualities have less purity and therefore are liquid at 20°C. The material will normally be handled as liquid melt in industrial applications.
