Thermographic Data, Determination 1 - 4

-   Endotherm onset temperature 1: 150.08 °C (423 K)

-   Endotherm onset temperature 2: 150.99 °C (424 K)

-   Endotherm onset temperature 3: 151.22 °C (424 K)

-   Endotherm onset temperature 4: 151.12 °C (242 K)

Conclusions:
In a valid, reliable and conclusive study according to OECD TG 102 (1995) and Method A1 (EC) No 440/2008, the melting temperature of the test item was determined to be 150.9 °C (424.0 K). at 101.3 to 101.5 kPa.
Executive summary:

The study was performed to determine the melting temperature of the test item according to OECD TG 102 (1995) and Method A1 (EC) No 440/2008. The mean melting temperature of the test item was 150.9 °C (424.0 K), with a relative standard deviation of 0.35 % from the four determinations performed. Atmospheric pressure was 101.3 to 101.5 kPa.
