Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The melting point has been analysed according to OECD Guideline 102. The used method was the Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), where the sample was heated from 20 to 600 °C. In addition, the sample was heated in an oven up to 1400 K.
GLP compliance:
no
Remarks:
accreditated method

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Celitement showed dehydration between 50 and 600 °C. At the beginning calcium hydrosilicate (CHS) and calcium silcate hydrate phases (CSH) and at the end calcium hydroxide lost chemical bounded water. The dehydration was not combined with a melting of the powdery substance.
