Conclusions:
The melting point determination of test chemical was done following OECD Guideline 102 and according to the metal block capillary method. The test was conducted in replicates and Mean Melting temperature range was determined to be 208.5-213.5°C at 967.3hPa.
Executive summary:

The melting point determination of test chemical was done following OECD Guideline 102 and according to the metal block capillary method. The test was conducted in replicates and Mean Melting temperature range was determined to be 208.5-213.5°C at 967.3hPa.

Description of key information

The melting point determination of test chemical was done as per the test guideline OECD 102. The method followed was according to Capillary/metal block. The Mean Melting temperature range was observed to be 208.5-213.5°C at 967.3 hPa.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
208.5 °C

Additional information

The melting point determination of test chemical was done as per the test guideline OECD 102. The method followed was according to Capillary/metal block. The Mean Melting temperature range was found to be 208.5-213.5°C at 967.3 hPa.

Based on other supporting data from authoritative databases, the Melting point of test chemical is determined to be 213 °C.

Other supporting data from authoritative database Gestis, also supported the selected key study and exhibited the Melting point of test chemical as 200 °C, closer to the selected key value.
