Remarks on result:
other: result relates to glass transition temperature of the substance

In both experiment a glass transition was observed between -37 and -16°C on the heating curve. The extrapolated glass transition temperatures were -22.76 and -22.98°C in the initial and follow up experiments respectively. In both experiments, the sample had lost no mass and the consistency and colour of the sample had not changed.

Conclusions:
No endothermic peak corresponding to melting of the test substance was recorded in the tested temperature range from -50°C to 25°C. On both heating and cooling curves, a glass transition temperature of -22.9°C was determined.

Description of key information

No endothermic peak corresponding to melting of the test substance was recorded in the tested temperature range from -50°C to 25°C. On both heating and cooling curves, a glass transition temperature of -22.9°C was determined which is selected as the key value for chemical safety assessment.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
