- Executive summary:
Introduction
General physico-chemical properties of the test item have been determined.
Methods employed are designed to be compatible with those specified in Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008, Part A: Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties.
Method
The determination was carried out by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) using the procedure specified in ASTM E537-86 designed to be compatible with Method A1 Melting/Freezing Temperature ofCommissionRegulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.
Conclusion
The melting/freezing temperature of the test item has been determined to be not less than 450°C (723K).

Description of key information
Melting point/freezing point (HEDP acid): >450°C (Tremain 2010)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
HEDP-H has been demonstrated not to melt below 450ºC. The DSC thermograms show evidence of loss of water at about 100°C. This result has been reported in an up to date study which was conducted by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) using ASTM E537-86 method. The result is considered as reliable and has therefore been assigned as key study.
In available secondary sources to which reliability could not be assigned, melting/freezing temperature values of <-10°C, -25°C and approximately -40°C were reported for the submission substance. Also, decomposition temperatures of >200°C, 198 -199°C and approximately 228°C were reported for HEDP-H.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
