- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Identity: FAT 40812/A
Batch: WP 8/03
Appearance: Solid, dark red-brownish powder
Expiration date: 23 April 2010
Storage: At room temperature at about 20 °C - Melting / freezing pt.:
- > 400 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 1 atm
- Conclusions:
- The test substance does not melt under the conditions of the test.
- Executive summary:
In a GLP-compliant study performed according to EC method A.1, the melting point of the test substance was determined. Thermal analysis was used for this purpose. Based on the findings of the study, no melting was observed below 400 °C, no endothermic peak was observed from which the melting could be deduced. The sample had lost about 23 % of its mass and the sample was black-colored and carbonized.
Reference
In a preliminary test, a not well defined endothermic heat effect was observed between about 50 °C and 200 °C followed by an exothermic reaction starting at about 250 °C. After the experiment, the sample had lost about 24 % of its mass and the sample was black-colored and carbonized, but not molten.
In the main test, no endothermic peak was observed from which the melting could be deduced. The sample had lost about 23 % of its mass and the sample was black colored and carbonized.
Description of key information
In a GLP-compliant study performed according to EC method A.1, the melting point of the test substance was determined. Thermal analysis was used for this purpose. Based on the findings of the study, no melting was observed up to 400 °C, no edothermic peak was observed from which the melting could be deduced. At the end of the experiment the sample had lost about 23 % of its mass and was black-colored and carbonized.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- 400 °C
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
