Results and discussion

Melting / freezing point
Melting / freezing pt.:
-25 °C
Remarks on result:
other: At atmospheric pressure, exact value not reported.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The DSC-curves obtained during the two experiments are included in attachments. During the cooling in the first experiment, a glass transition between -20 °C and -50 °C was observed. During heating, a glass transition between -50 °C and 0 °C was observed. The inflection point of the glass transition was -25.10 °C. Experiment 2 was performed as a duplicate of Experiment 1. Similar results were obtained.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
A melting point of -25 °C was observed for Z-Acetate as determined by the OECD 102 method.
Executive summary:

The melting point of Z-Acetate was tested using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). During cooling in both experiments, a glass transition was observed between -20 °C and -50 °C. During heating, a glass transition was observed between -50 °C and 0 °C. The average inflection point of the glass transition was -25 °C. The study was conducted in accordance with the OECD 102 method and was GLP compliant; therefore the study is considered reliable without restrictions.
