Executive summary:

Determination of the melting point


Determination of the melting point was performed in accordance with the Standard Operating Procedure SPO/BS/25/b (edition 5). The melting point determination was performed according to EC method A.1 “Melting/freezing temperature”, which is in conformity with the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals no. 102 “Melting point/melting range”.


The capillary tube in heated metal block method and BÜCHI Melting Point B-565 apparatus was used. For melting point determination a substance sample was placed in a capillary tube and packed tightly. The measurements were performed in three parallel tubes. Observations of the tested material properties changes were recorded in the temperature range investigated.
