- Executive summary:
An experimental study was conducted to determine the melting point of the test item according to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.1. and OECD Test Guideline 102 (1995) using differential scanning calorimetry. The test item has no melting point down to -100 °C at atmospheric pressure (1005 hPa).
Reference
Results
In the thermograms of the two DSC runs a very small endothermic effect was observed in the temperature range of - 50 °C to - 40 °C, which cannot be assigned to the melting of the test item, due to its low energy of < 10 J/g.
Results of the DSC-measurements
No. | Sample weight / mg | Onset of Effect / °C | Range of effect / °C | Weight loss / mg | Atmospheric pressure / hPa |
PN9161 | 11.48 | -47.51 | -50 to -40 (endo) | 11.19 | 1004.8 |
PN9162 | 12.09 | -47.53 | -50 to -40 (endo) | 11.56 | 1004.8 |
Final Results
The test item has no melting point down to -100 °C at atmospheric pressure (1005 hPa) as determined by differential scanning calorimetry according to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.1. and OECD Test Guideline 102 (1995).
Description of key information
The test item has no melting point down to -100 °C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
