Overall result: Melted over the range 26 to 42 °C (299 to 316 K)

Conclusions:
The melting temperature of the test item was assesed in accordance with OECD Guideline 102 has been determined to be over the range 26 to 42 °C (299 to 316 K).
Executive summary:

GUIDELINE

Melting point was determined using a method designed to be compatible with Method 102 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995, and Method A.1 Melting/Freezing Temperature of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

METHOD

Melting temperature was determined by differential calorimetry. Two main runs were performed, and the mean final temperature was reported.

CONCLUSION

The melting temperature of the test item has been determined to be over the range 26 to 42 °C (299 to 316 K).

Description of key information

The melting temperature of the test item was assessed in accordance with OECD Guideline 102 and has been determined to be over the range 26 to 42 °C (299 to 316 K).

Key value for chemical safety assessment
