- -26.55 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 986.4 hPa
- Decomposition:
- no
- Remarks on result:
- other: Range of effect: -40 to -10 °C; 150 to 220 °C
- Key result
- Melting / freezing pt.:
- -26.57 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 1 013.7 hPa
- Decomposition:
- no
- Remarks on result:
- other: Range of effect: -40 to -10 °C; 120 to 220
- Conclusions:
- The test item has a melting point of -26.6 °C at atmospheric pressure (986 hPa or 1014 hPa, respectively) as determined by differential scanning calorimetry.
- Executive summary:
The test item has a melting point of -26.6 °C at atmospheric pressure (986 hPa or 1014 hPa, respectively) as determined by differential scanning calorimetry according to Regulation EC no. 440/2008 Method A.1. and OECD Test Guideline 102 (1995). In the temperature range of -40 to -10 °C, an endothermic effect (melting) was observed. Between approx. 120 - 220 °C a second endothermic effect (boiling) could be detected.
Reference
During the cooling phase, an exothermal effect was observed at a temperature of approx. -50 °C, which can be associated with the freezing of the test item.
During the heating phase a distinct endothermic effect was observed in the temperature range of -40 to -10 °C, which can be associated with the melting of the test item. As the onset temperatures in both tests deviate by less than 0.5 K from their mean value of -26.56 °C, the test item has a melting point of -26.6 °C.
The test item showed a second endothermic signal in the temperature range of approx. 120 - 220 °C that can be associated with the boiling of the test item.
Description of key information
The test item has a melting point of -26.6 °C at atmospheric pressure (986 hPa or 1014 hPa, respectively) as determined by differential scanning calorimetry according to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.1. and OECD Test Guideline 102 (1995).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- -26.6 °C
