During the cooling phase, an exothermal effect was observed in the temperature range of -60 to -70 °C, which can be assigned to the freezing of the test item.

During the heating phase a distinct endothermic effect was observed in the temperature range of -50 to -20 °C, which can be assigned to the melting of the test item. As the onset temperatures in both tests deviate more than 0.5 K from their mean value of -33.98 °C, the test item has a melting range of -32 °C to -36 °C.

The test item showed a second endothermic signal in the temperature range of approx. 120 – 260 °C that can be assigned to the boiling of the test item.

No further thermal effects were observed up to the maximum test temperature of 500 °C.

 

Final Results

The test item has a melting range of -36 °C to -32 °C at atmospheric pressure (987 and 1012 hPa respectively) as determined by differential scanning calorimetry according to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.1. and OECD Test Guideline 102 (1995).

Conclusions:
A melting range of -36 to -32 °C (at 987 and 1012 hPa, respectively) was determined for the test substance according to E.U. Method A.1.

Description of key information

Melting range: -36 to -32 °C at 987 and 1012 hPa, respectively (EU Method A.1, differential scanning calorimetry)
