Key result
Atm. press.:
1 013 hPa
Remarks on result:
other: No melting point was found between -150 and +300°C under the conditions of the study. A glass transition was observed at -141°C.

The heat flow curves show a small glass transition at -141°C, indicating that the test item had solidified amorphously.

The thermograms from the measurements are attached

Conclusions:
During the melting point study, no melting point was determined between -150 and +300°C under the conditions of the present study, but a glass transition was observed at -141°C. The result is considered to be reliable.

Description of key information

Melting point: no melting point observed between -150 and +300°C under the conditions of the study but a glass transition was observed at -141°C (OECD 102).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Measurement of the melting point of the submission substance was attempted in a study conducted using a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in accordance with OECD Test Guideline 102. No melting point was observed between -150 and +300°C under the conditions of the study but a glass transition temperature was observed at -141°C. The result is considered to be reliable and is selected as key study.
