Preliminary Test
Starting at 100°C, the weight of the sample decreased significantly. At 142°C, the sample weight had decreased by 25%. After the experiment it was observed that the test item was evaporated from the samplecontainer.
Main study
In a first experiment, an exothermic peak between -20°C and 0°C was found during cooling (results are archived in the raw data). The effect was obtained due to crystallization of the test item. During heating, an endothermic peak was observed between -25°C and 25°C. The extrapolated onset temperature of the peak was -4.066°C. The endothermic effect was due to melting of the test item.
In order to investigate the melting peak, a second experiment was performed as a duplicate of the first experiment. Similar results as in the first experiment were obtained. The extrapolated onset of the melting peak was -4.044°C.
The melting temperature was determined as the mean melting temperature of the first experiment (-4.066°C) and second experiment (-4.044°C).
The freezing point for the test substance was specify to be -9°C in a literature source. This data comes from a recognized database : PHYSPROP (part of EPISuite QSAR)
No atmospheric pressure was indicated for the freezing point value. It is assumed that this parameter was determined at normal atmospheric pressure
The freezing point for the test substance was specify to be -9°C in three different literature sources.
No atmospheric pressure was indicated for the freezing point value. It is assumed that this parameter was determined at normal atmospheric pressure
Description of key information
The melting point of the test item was investigated in a GLP-compliant study performed in accordance with EC A.1 Method and OECD Guideline No. 102, using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The melting point of the test item was determined to be -4.1°C. This experimental value is further supported by data from the literature.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- -4.1 °C
Additional information
The melting point of the test item was investigated in a GLP-compliant study performed in accordance with standard methods, without deviations. The study is considered as reliable (Klimisch 1) and is selected as a key study for the endpoint. Literature data are also reported for the endpoint and selected as supporting studies (Klimisch 2 or 4).
