Specific details on test material used for the study:
Identity: FAT 40819/A
Description: Red brown powder
Batch number: Red ROE 420 BOP 01/04
Purity: approx. 77 %
Stability of test item: Stable under storage condition
Expiry date: 02 November 2009
Stability of test item dilution: Stable in PEG 300 for at least 7 days at room temperature
Storage conditions: At room temperature.
Melting / freezing pt.:
> 400 °C
Atm. press.:
1 atm
Decomposition:
no

In a preliminary test, no endothermic peaks were detected between 25 °C and 400 °C. After the experiment, the sample had lost about 24 % of its mass and a black powder remained.

Conclusions:
The test substance does not melt under the conditions of the test.
Executive summary:

In a GLP-compliant study performed according to EC method A.1, the melting point of the test substance was determined. No melting was observed below 400 °C. After the experiment, the sample had lost about 24 % of its mass and a black powder remained.

Description of key information

In a GLP-compliant study performed according to EC method A.1, the melting point of the test substance was determined (RCC 2005). No melting was observed below 400 °C. After the experiment, the sample had lost about 24 % of its mass and a black powder remained.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
