Preliminary TGA

From 175°C upwards the weight of the sample decreased significantly. At 327°C, the sample weight had decreased by 25%. After the experiment, brown/black residue was observed on the lid of the sample container and a brown/black residue remained in the sample container.

 

DSC experiment

During the cooling, no effects were observed that could indicate crystallization of the test substance. During heating, an exothermic effect was observed starting at 150°C. The effect was due to reaction and/or decomposition of the test substance. After the experiment, a brown/orange residue remained in the sample container.

 

Additional experiment

After storage overnight in the freezers at -20°C and -80°C the substance was a (highly viscous) liquid. From this it was concluded that the melting temperature of the test substance is < -80°C(< 193K).

 

Conclusions:
The melting temperature of the substance was determined to be < -80°C. Decomposition of the substance started at 150°C.
Executive summary:

In a differential scanning calorimetry study, the melting temperature of the substance was determined to be < -80°C. Decomposition of the substance started at 150°C. The study was performed in accordance with EC A.1, OECD 102 and EPA OPPTS 830.7200 guidelines and according to the principles of GLP.

Conclusions:
The melting point of MPKO is -45°C at an atmospheric pressure of ca. 101.7 kPa.
Executive summary:

The melting temperature of MPKO was determined using a Q100 difference scanning calorimeter. The melting point of MPKO is -45°C at an atmospheric pressure of ca. 101.7 kPa.

Description of key information

The melting temperature of the substance was determined to be < -80°C. Decomposition of the substance started at 150°C. The melting point of MPKO, the main hydrolysis product of OS2600 was determined to be -45°C

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-80 °C

Additional information

Key study: The melting point test was performed on OS2600 in accordance with OECD Guideline 102 and EU method A.1. In a differential scanning calorimetry study, the melting temperature of the substance was determined to be < -80°C. Decomposition of the substance started at 150°C.

Supporting study: The melting temperature of the analogue substance MPKO was determined using a Q100 difference scanning calorimeter. The melting point was -45°C at an atmospheric pressure of ca. 101.7 kPa.
