Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
>= 347.1 - <= 364.6 °C

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The melting point was determined via DSC (differential scanning calorimetry). The melting point under decomposition referring to the pre-test was determined under these circum-stances as the endothermic event given in a range from:

347.10°C (620.25K) – 364.60°C (637.75 K)


This value represents the mean of four independent determinations.
. No observations were made which might cause doubts on the validity of the study outcome. Therefore, the result of the study is considered valid.
Executive summary:
