- The test substance showed a melting area of the main components between 68°C and 104°C.

(a) 68°C – 104°C (from first measurement)

(b) 68°C – 106°C (from second measurement)

(c) 67°C – 103°C (from third measurement)

- The cooling run showed a crystallization. Additionally, the heating runs showed a glass transition temperature at 56°C and a melting of a sub component between -13°C and 21°C and between 131°C and 187°C. In the last run, the test substance howed a melting although.

Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the test substance showed a melting area of the main components between 68°C and 104°C (DSC).
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the melting point of the test substance, C16 TMA-MS (93.44% active), according to OECD Guideline 102 and EU Method A.1. To determine the melting behaviour (three independent single measurements), the test substance was measured by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) between -90°C and 250°C with a heating / cooling rate of 10 K/min in 3 cycles. For the measurement, a capsulated crucible was used. The test substance showed a melting area of the main components between 68°C and 104°C. The cooling run showed a crystallization. Additionally, the heating runs showed a glass transition temperature at 56°C and a melting of a sub component between -13°C and 21°C and between 131°C and 187°C. In the last run, the test substance howed a melting although. Under the study conditions, the test substance showed a melting range of the main components between 68°C and 104°C (Henkel, 2016).

Description of key information

The melting point of the test substance was determined using differential scanning calorimetry, according to OECD Guideline 102 and EU Method A.1 (Henkel, 2016).
