The test item Reaction products of ricinoleic acid with 2-aminoethanol and maleic acid and sodium hydrogensulfite shows no melting of crystalline subcomponents up to 229 °C according to the definition in the OECD Guideline 102 (mean value from repeat determinations; 1st to 4th heating run). 229 °C (from first measurement) 229 °C (from second measurement) 229 °C (from third measurement) Up to 229 °C the sample shows a weight loss of ca. 5-6 weight%. From 229 °C the test item shows most probably a thermal decomposition with melting (a melting between 229 °C and 300 °C can not be excluded, due to the information of the capillary method; the decomposition products seem to start melting at temperatures between 229 °C and 300 °C) and evaporation of the decomposition components. A vaporization of significant parts of the test item cannot be completely excluded.

In the temperature range between about 20 °C and 90 °C the test item shows a reversible endothermic effect (see 2. + 3. heating run). This effect is possibly a solid– solid phase transformation. This effect is not the melting of the test item (main component) which was verified by subsequent tests with the Kofler-heating bank and with the melting in a capillary. The cooling runs show no crystallization.

The DSC measurements were confirmed by means of TGA measurements (up to 229 °C the sample shows a weight loss of ca. 5-6 weight%) under the same measuring conditions.

Conclusions:
Melting point > 229°C. Above that temperature, decomposition started.
Executive summary:

The In the non-GLP Klimisch 1 study from Kintrup (2012) the melting point of Reaction products of ricinoleic acid with 2-aminoethanol and maleic acid and sodium hydrogensulfite was determined with the DSC method according to OECD 102 and EU method A.1 in a non-GLP study to be above 229 °C. Above that temperature, decomposition started.

This information is considered to be relevant and reliable for the further risk assessment.

Additional information

In the non-GLP Klimisch 1 study from Kintrup (2012) the melting point of Reaction products of ricinoleic acid with 2-aminoethanol and maleic acid and sodium hydrogensulfite was determined with the DSC method according to OECD 102 and EU method A.1 in a non-GLP study to be above 229 °C. Above that temperature, decomposition started.
