- Key result
- Melting / freezing pt.:
- 31 - 55 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 101 kPa
- Conclusions:
- The melting temperature of the test item has been determined to be over the range 31 to 55 °C (304 to 328 K).
- Executive summary:
Under the conditions of the test, the melting point of the test material was determined to be over the range 31 to 55 °C (304 to 328 K), by differential scanning calorimetry, designed to be compatible with Method A.1 Melting/Freezing Temperature of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 102 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995. The melting transition of the test item was considered to be softening over a broad range.
