Endpoint:

melting point/freezing point

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

2 June to 17 July 2017

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)

GLP compliance:

no

Type of method:

differential scanning calorimetry

Key result

Melting / freezing pt.:

>= -59 - <= -21 °C

Remarks on result:

other: Pressure not reported

The results of the three measurements were as follow:

-60 °C to 22 °C (from first measurement)

-58 °C to 21 °C (from second measurement)

-58 °C to 20 °C (from third measurement)

 

The cooling run shows a crystallization.

 

Conclusion

The test item shows a melting area of crystalline subcomponents between -59 °C and -21 °C according to the definition in the OECD Guideline 102 (mean value from repeat determination).
