Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
In the key study (Butler, 2013), the melting point of the test material was investigated in a GLP study which was conducted in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 102 and EU Method A.1 using differential scanning calorimetry.
Aliquots of the test material were added to aluminium crucibles and heated from 25 to 150 °C at a rate of 1.0 °C/minute; the thermographic data obtained was evaluated.
Under the conditions of this study, the melting range was determined to be 73.4 to 86.2 ± 0.5 °C (347 to 359 ± 0.5 K).
Supporting information is provided in the form of a review article (Summer, 2003) in which the melting point of the test material was reported to be 84 to 87 °C. No information is presented on materials and methods.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
