Executive summary:

The melting point of MEA-LAS was determined following EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature).

Melting point of the test substance was determined by pour point method.

10 mL of test substance sample washeated to 50°C, but no movement of the sample was observed. Samples were run in duplicates.

The melting point of MEA-LAS is greater than 50°C at atmospheric pressure.

This melting point test is classified as acceptable, and satisfies the guideline requirements for the EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature).
