Visual assessment following completion of a each test showed unmelted powder which changed from a slight off-white colour to a dark tan colour.

Conclusions:
The test item has a mean melting point of > 300 °C (> 573.15 K).
Executive summary:

EU Method A.1. – The melting point/freezing point of the test item was determined using the capillary method.  The procedure employed was designed to be compatible with Method A.1. Melting/Freezing Temperature of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

Aliquots of test item were placed in capillary tubes fused at one end and subjected to heating at a rate of 10 °C/min from a temperature of 215 °C.  Heating was continued to 300 °C.  The test was performed twice.

The mean melting temperature of the test item was established as being > 300 °C.

Description of key information

Melting Point: > 300 °C; EU Method A.1.; D. McSherry (2018)
