Key result

Melting / freezing pt.:

Atm. press.:

1 013 hPa

Six assays were performed during the test, the temperature values obtained for the melting point varied between 52.6 and 67.7 °C.

The mean value for the melting point a is explained as the mean of at least two assays for which the melting point value or the boiling point value are in the range of the estimated accuracy of the method: ± 0.5 °C up to 326.9 °C and ± 2.0 °C

above 326.9 °C.

Two assays were contained between the range for the melting point.

Endpoint:

Type of information:

read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)

Adequacy of study:

key study

Justification for type of information:

1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
C8-C18 AAPHS and C12-18 AAPHS have the same functional groups, and general composition. The main variable resides in the alkyl chain distribution.

2. SOURCE AND TARGET CHEMICAL(S) (INCLUDING INFORMATION ON PURITY AND IMPURITIES)
Source chemical = C8-18 cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine (EC 939-455-3).
Target chemical = C12-18 cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine (EC 939-457-4).

3. ANALOGUE APPROACH JUSTIFICATION
The alkyl C-chain distribution of the source chemical significantly overlaps with the one of the target chemical, the C12-alkyl derivative being the major constituent in both chemicals. The structural differences in side C-chains is not expected to lead to significant differences on phys-chem properties.

4. DATA MATRIX
See "Documentation and scientific justification of the read-across approach" in section 13.2.

Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

Remarks on result:

other: read-across from EC 939-455-3

Conclusions:

By analogy with the source substance EC 939-455-3, a melting point of 61.4 ± 0.5°C was reported for the target substance 1-Propanaminium, N-(3-aminopropyl)-2-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyl-3-sulfo-, N-(C12-18(even numbered) acyl) derivs., hydroxides, inner salts (EC 939-457-4).

Description of key information

As the melting point of the substance EC 939-457-4 has not been determined experimentally, a read-across approach was followed to fill in the endpoint. The melting point of a structural analogue substance (= source substance EC 939-455-3) was investigated in a GLP-compliant study (Ricau, 2013) performed in accordance with OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range) and EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature). The mean melting point of the analogue substance was 61.4 ± 0.5 °C. By analogy, a melting point of 61.4 ± 0.5°C was reported for the target substance 1-Propanaminium, N-(3-aminopropyl)-2-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyl-3-sulfo-, N-(C12-18(even numbered) acyl) derivs., hydroxides, inner salts (EC 939-457-4).

The alkyl C-chain distribution of the source substance EC 939-455-3 significantly overlaps with the one of the target substance EC 939-457-7, the C12-alkyl derivative being the major constituent in both chemicals. The structural differences in side C-chains is not expected to lead to significant differences on phys-chem properties.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:

Additional information

The melting point of the structural analogue substance (= source substance EC 939-455-3) was investigated in a GLP-compliant study (Ricau, 2013) performed in accordance with standard methods, without deviations. The study is considered as reliable (Klimisch 1) and was selected as key study for the endpoint of the target substance EC 939-457-4.
