Conclusions:
The mean melting temperature of the test substance was determined to be 321.3 °C (594.5 K) at atmospheric pressure, with a relative standard deviation of 0.19% (°C) from the four determinations performed. The test item decomposed on melting, in both an air and nitrogen atmosphere.
Executive summary:

The study was performed to determine the melting temperature of the test substance using OECD method 102 and EU Method A.1

The mean melting temperature of the test substance was determined to be 321.3 °C (594.5 K), with a relative standard deviation of 0.19% (°C) from the four determinations performed. The atmospheric pressure was in the range 99.3 to 99.8 kPa. The test substance decomposed on melting, in both an air and nitrogen atmosphere.

Description of key information

The mean melting temperature of the test item was determined according to OECD 102 and EU Method A.1 to be 321.3 °C (594.5 K), with a relative standard deviation of 0.19% (°C) from the four determinations performed. The atmospheric pressure was in the range 99.3 to 99.8 kPa. The test item decomposed on melting, in both an air and nitrogen atmosphere.
