Description of key information

 


In a DSC measurement and a subsequent pour point determination the melting point of the test substance was determined. In the DSC experiment, no melting point was observed. In a pour point experiment it was determined that the melting point is < -20°C. Thus, no key value for the chemical safety assessment will be given.

 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

DSC Measurement: No melting point is observed.


This suggests that the sample solidifies in a glassy state. Therefore a pour point test was carried out.


 


Pour Point Method


Two samples were placed in screw-capped tubes and thermostated for one hour.


Both samples were liquid at -20 °C.


Conclusions


The melting point is less than -20 °C:
