Conclusions:
the test substance Thio-Acid has a melting range of 231-234°C
Executive summary:

The test is conducted to determine the temperature or temperature range of the phase transition from a solid to a liquid.

The dry substance is finely pulverised in a mortar and is put into a capillary tube, fused at one end, so that the filling level is approximately 3 mm after being tightly packed. The temperature of the apparatus is heated to about 15°C below the expected melting temperature, then the filled capillary tubes are inserted and testing is started, generally at a maximum rate of 1°C/min.

This method has an estimated accuracy of ± 0.5°C.

The test is conducted in accordance with the procedure described in EU Regulation

(EC) 440/2008, Annex Part A test A1.

Description of key information

Thioacid was identified to melt in the range of 231 to 234 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The test was conducted to determine the temperature or temperature range of the phase transition from a solid to a liquid.

The dry substance was finely pulverised in a mortar and put into a capillary tube, fused at one end, so that the filling level is approximately 3 mm after being tightly packed. The temperature of the apparatus was heated to about 15°C below the expected melting temperature, then the filled capillary tubes were inserted and testing started, generally at a maximum rate of 1°C/min.

This method has an estimated accuracy of ± 0.5°C. The test is conducted in accordance with the procedure described in EU Regulation

(EC) 440/2008, Annex Part A test A1.

The mean of at least three measurements, which are in the range of the estimated accuracy, is reported as the melting temperature.

The result was a range of 231 -234 °C.
