Melting point / freezing point
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- melting point/freezing point
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 2012
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Remarks:
- The study was conducted according to an internationally recognised method. The substance is considered to be adequately characterised with its isomers composition. Therefore full validation applies.
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
- Deviations:
- no
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
- Deviations:
- no
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: BS4634; Determination of melting point
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Type of method:
- capillary method
- Key result
- Melting / freezing pt.:
- 69 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 98.2 kPa
- Remarks on result:
- other: accuracy +/-0.5 °C
- Executive summary:
The melting point of the test substance was determined according to BS4634 (listed in OECD 102/EU A1 guideline), capillary method. Two main runs were performed, and the mean final temperature was retained. Melting (i.e. solid-liquid transition) occurs at the single temperature of 69.0°C (342.1K).

- Executive summary:
The melting point of the test substance was determined according to BS4634 (listed in OECD 102/EU A1 guideline), capillary method. Two main runs were performed, and the mean final temperature was retained. Melting (i.e. solid-liquid transition) occurs at the single temperature of 61.4°C (334.6K).

Results
| t (initial) | t (final) | t (melting average) | |
| Preliminary test : | 342.4 K | 342.9 K | 342.7 K |
| Determination 1 : | 341.2 K | 342.3 K | 341.8 K |
| Determination 2 : | 341.1 K | 341.9 K | 341.5 K |
| mean of det.1 and 2 | 341.2 K | 342.1 K |
The difference between initial and final melting temperature is within accuracy (+/-0.5K), therefore the average of final temperatures in the main determinations is retained = 342.1 K
Results
| t (initial) | t (final) | t (melting average) | |
| Preliminary test : | 333.5 K | 335.9 K | 334.7 |
| Determination 1 : | 334.1 K | 335.5 K | 334.8 |
| Determination 2 : | 332.8 K | 333.6 K | 333.2 |
| mean of det.1 and 2 | 333.5 K | 334.6 K |
Difference between initial and final stage temperatures is more than the proposed accuracy (+/-0.5K).
Considering a higher accuracy of +/-1°C, initial and final stage temperatures are within the limits, therefore the average of final temperatures in the main determinations is retained: 334.6 K.
Description of key information
Melting (i.e. solid-liquid transition) occurs at a single temperature between 61 and 69°C, depending on composition.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- 65 °C
Additional information
Two fully reliable experimental studies, conducted according to a recognized OECD/EC method, are available. Both are considered as key studies, as relating to two different compositions. The mean value is retained as key data.
