Version / remarks:
adopted in 2008
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Version / remarks:
adopted in 1995
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Remarks:
Department of Health, London, UK
Type of method:
differential scanning calorimetry
Melting / freezing pt.:
> 450 °C

Discussion


Thermal analysis confirmed no phase transitions or significant thermal events when the test item was heated to a temperature of 450 °C, with the residue appearance for each determination remaining as a dark blue powder.


 


Conclusion


The melting point of the test item has been determined to be greater than 450 °C (> 723 K).

Conclusions:
The melting/freezing point of the substance was > 450 °C
Executive summary:

A test according to OECD TG 102 was conducted. Specifically using differential scanning calorimetry.  The measure was conducted in duplicate.  The accuracy of the test procedure was checked with two reference substnces, zinc and indium.


The metling/freezing point of the substance was determined to be > 450 °C.
