- Executive summary:
A study was conducted according to OECD test guideline 102, Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.1 and EPA OCSPP test guideline 830.7200 to determine the melting point of the test item using capillary method. At the start of the test at 205 °C the test substance was a white powder. The colour of the test substance changed to brown at about 211 °C. The test substance melted at 212.6 °C. Identical observations were made in the three samples. Thus it was concluded that the test item decomposed before and during melting. Decomposition was indicated by a significant change of colour at about 211 °C. The decomposed test substance melted at the 212.6 °C.
Reference
At the start of the test at 205 °C the test substance was a white powder. The colour of the test substance changed to brown at about 211 °C and started melting at about 212 °C.
The results of 3 repeated determinations of the melting temperature of the test substance were: 213.0, 212.9 and 211.9 °C. The mean melting temperature of the test item was 212.6 °C, with a standard deviation of 0.61. In each case the melted test substance appeared brown.
Description of key information
The mean melting temperature of the test item was determined to be 212.6 °C under decomposition.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- 212.6 °C
