RESULTS

Preliminary test

Starting at 250°C, the weight of the sample decreased significantly. At 270°C, the sample weight had decreased by 25%. After the experiment, a dark brown residue was observed on the lid of the sample container and a brown molten residue remained in the sample container (original colour: beige). The change of the colour indicated reaction and/or decomposition of the test item.

Main study

Experiment 1. During cooling, a glass transition was observed between -80°C and -50°C (results are archived in the raw data). During heating, a glass transition was observed between -75°C and -25°C. The inflection point of the glass transition was -59.139°C. An endothermic peak was observed starting at 200°C. The effect was due to reaction and/or decomposition of the test item. After the experiment, a brown molten residue remained in the sample container (original colour: beige) and a brown residue was observed on the lid of the sample container. The change of the colour indicated reaction and/or decomposition of the test item.

Experiment 2 (performed as a duplicate of Experiment 1 to obtain a second value for the glass transition but heating was stopped at a lower temperature). The inflection point of the glass transition was -59.207°C. After the experiment, the sample appeared unchanged.

The glass transition temperature was determined as the mean glass transition temperature of Experiment 1 (-59.139°C) and Experiment 2 (-59.207°C).

Conclusions:

No melting point was observed down to -90°C. A glass transition of the test item was observed at -59.2°C.

Executive summary:

The melting point of the test item was investigated in a GLP-compliant study performed in accordance with EU Method A.1 and OECD Guideline No. 102, using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). No melting point was observed down to -90°C. A glass transition of the test item was observed at -59.2°C.

Description of key information

The melting point of the test item was investigated in a GLP-compliant study performed in accordance with EU Method A.1 and OECD Guideline No. 102, using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC).
