Results
Residual moisture
The test item was dried until constant weight. 80.82 % moisture could be removed.

 

DSC Measurements
In the temperature range of 60 – 230 °C a first broad endothermic effect was observed, directly followed by a second endothermic effect in the temperature range of 230 – 300 °C. In the temperature range of 420 – 450 °C a small exothermic effect could be detected, with a decomposition energy of -20 J/g.

During the heating phase two endothermic effect were observed in the temperature ranges of 60 – 230 °C and 230 – 300 °C, which can’t be clearly assigned to the melting of the test item.

Thus an additional measurement by means of the capillary method was performed for a verification of the DSC results.

 

Capillary Method
The additional tests with the capillary method showed no change of the test item up to a temperature of 250 °C. At 250 °C the test item raised in the capillary and at approx. 260 °C the colour of the test item changed from white to brown. No melting or boiling of the test item could be observed up to its decomposition.

Combining the results of the DSC-measurements and the capillary method, the endothermic effects in the DSC can’t be assigned to the melting or boiling of the test item. They could be caused by evaporating gas.

The dried solid test item has no melting point and no boiling point up to the decomposition starting at approx. 260 °C.

 

Conclusion
The dried solid test item ETA Lösung 181 / TRISODIUM EDTA SOLUTION 20% has no boiling point up to the decomposition temperature of approx. 260 °C at atmospheric pressure (1003 hPa) as determined by differential scanning calorimetry and verified by means of the capillary method according to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.2. and OECD Test Guideline 103 (1995).

Description of key information

No boiling point at 1003 hPa (OECD Guideline 103, Differential Scanning Calorimetry)

Key value for chemical safety assessment
