Discussion and results

The melting point and boiling point was determined via DSC (differential scanning calorimetry).

Three DSC measurements were performed. In all measurements two endothermic peaks were detected.

The first (small) event can be identified as the melting point of the test item.

The second event can be assigned to the boiling point.

These were evaluated with Event Marker function.

 

The melting point is given in a range of: 38.27 °C to 69.53 °C (311.42 K to 342.68 K) with the lowest peak maximum of 57.13 °C (330.28 K)

 

These values represent the three 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.

Conclusions:
The melting point is given in a range of: 38.27 °C to 69.53 °C (311.42 K to 342.68 K) with the lowest peak maximum of 57.13 °C (330.28 K)
Executive summary:

An experimental study, conducted in accordance with conditions recommended in OECD guideline and under GLP, is performed. The melting point was determined via DSC (differential scanning calorimetry).

Three DSC measurements were performed. In all measurements two endothermic peaks were detected.

The first (small) event can be identified as the melting point of the test item.

These were evaluated with Event Marker function.

 

The melting point is given in a range of: 38.27 °C to 69.53 °C (311.42 K to 342.68 K) with the lowest peak maximum of 57.13 °C (330.28 K). These values represent the three 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.

Description of key information

The melting point is given in a range of: 38.27 °C to 69.53 °C (311.42 K to 342.68 K) with the lowest peak maximum of 57.13 °C (330.28 K)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

An experimental study, conducted in accordance with conditions recommended in OECD guideline and under GLP, is performed. It should be considered as a key study. The result should be retained as key data.
