Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- melting point/freezing point
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 2007
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- test procedure in accordance with national standard methods with acceptable restrictions
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- reference to other study
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- reference to same study
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- reference to same study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: KDK 604 Internal Method
- Version / remarks:
- internal method of Koppers Denmark
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Type of method:
- method to determine freezing temperature
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- - Name of test material (as cited in study report): Composite Sample 7 Anthracene Oils (B(a)P < 50 ppm)
- Key result
- Melting / freezing pt.:
- 92 °C
- Atm. press.:
- ca. 1 013 hPa
- Decomposition:
- no
- Sublimation:
- no
- Conclusions:
- The CCSG composite sample 07 of anthracene oil (anthracene oil ≤ 50 ppm BaP, AOL) was demonstrated to have a melting range of 92 °C at atmospheric pressure. But it is also known, that other samples/batches of anthracene oil (AOL) may have a lower melting range due to slight differences in composition.
