Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- melting point/freezing point
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- Testing was conducted between 31 August 2005 and 18 October 2005.
- Reliability:

- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Sponsor's identification: FSM-005W
Description: white solid
Batch number: 2005-01
Date received: 23 August 2005
Storage conditions: room temperature in the dark under nitrogen over silica gel
The integrity of supplied data relating to the identity, purity and stability of the test material is the responsibility of the Sponsor. - Melting / freezing pt.:
- >= 476 - <= 486 K
- Atm. press.:
- >= 101.05 - <= 101.62 kPa
- Decomposition:
- yes
- Remarks:
- Evidence of gradual decomposition
- Decomp. temp.:
- >= 198 - <= 210 °C
- Conclusions:
- The test material has been determined to melt with evidence of gradual decomposition at 481 ± 0.5 K at 101.05 to 101.62 kPa. As the test material decomposed, no value for boiling temperature could be determined. A calculated value of boiling temperature gave a result of 543°C
- Executive summary:
Melting/Freezing Temperature and Boiling Temperature. Melted with evidence of gradual decomposition at 481 ± 0.5 K, at 101.05 to 101.62 kPa by differential scanning calorimetry, using ASTM E537-86, Methods Al and A2 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC. No value for boiling temperature could be determined. A calculated value of boiling temperature gave a result of
543oc.

Discussion
A nitrogen atmosphere was used since inconsistent thermograms were obtained in air, especially around the melting with gradual decomposition area.
Evidence of gradual decomposition was shown by the rising baseline in the thermograms and from a visual assessment based on a metal block technique which showed a gradual colour change from colourless to a dark amber colour from approximately 198 to 210 °C.
