Reference
Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2011
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study without detailed documentation
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: conventional differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Many liquid acrylate resins solidify in an amorphous glassy structure upon cooling. Hence, reactive resins often show a glass transition rather than a melting behavior. Exceptionally, melting can be observed. Since the resins are liquid at room temperature, the glass transition/melting is measured at sub ambient temperatures using conventional differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
-70 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 101.3 kPa
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the glass transition temperature of the test substance was determined to be -70°C (DSC).
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the glass transition temperature/melting point of the test substance according to the conventional differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). A sample of ca. 10 mg was loaded in a standard aluminum crucible (40 µL) fitted with a pierced lid. The measurements were conducted at a linear heating rate of 10°C min-1 using commercial DSC equipment (Mettler DSC823e or Q10 from TA Instruments). The DSC cell was flushed with nitrogen gas at a flow rate of 50 mL min-1. Two experiments were performed. Under the study conditions, the glass transition temperature of the test substance was determined to be -70°C (Boutreau, 2011).
