Remarks on result:
other: The cooling run shows a crystallisation at 13 °C.

The test material shows a glass transition temperature (amorphous components) at -51°C.

The cooling run shows a crystallisation at 13 °C.

Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the test substance showed an area of melting temperatures between -41 and 18 °C (melting of crystalline parts).
Executive summary:

The melting temperature of the test substance was determined in accordance with the OECD Guideline 102 and EU Method A.1.

The practical test was performed based on the in-house test procedure VTA(S) 31X93001.02: "Melting temperature determination (Tm) of solid and liquid substances by means of DSC.

Under the study conditions, the test substance showed an area of melting temperatures between -41 and 18 °C (melting of crystalline parts). Furthermore, there was a glass transition temperature (amorphous components) at -51°C. The cooling run showed a crystallisation at 13 °C (Kintrup, 2010).

Description of key information

The melting point was determined according to OECD Guideline 102 and EU Method A.1 (Kintrup 2010a).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
18 °C

Additional information

The melting point was between -41 and 18°C.
