Key result
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
>= 145 °C
Remarks on result:
other: Test item decomposed without melting
Remarks:
the samples were observed to darken at temperatures above approximately 145 °C, indicating decomposition.
Conclusions:
The melting temperature of the test item was not determinable as the test item decomposed at temperatures above approximately 145 °C without melting.
Executive summary:

The melting temperature of the test item was investigated in a study performed according to OECD 102 and EC Method A.1. guidelines. The melting temperature of the test item was not determinable as the test item decomposed at temperatures above approximately 145 °C without melting.

The study is a GLP compliant, guideline experimental study, and is acceptable without restrictions.

Description of key information
