Results

DSC-method (Preliminary test)

An endothermic heat effect, the melting, was observed at 278.8 deg C.After the experiment, the sample had lost about 6 % of its mass and the color of the sample was changed to brown.

Capilary method (Main test)

In order to determine the melting point more precisely, further tests were performed using the capillary tester. A total of 6 samples were heated with a heating rate of 3 K/min from 240 deg C to 265 deg C and with a heating rate of 0.5 K/min from 265 deg C to 320 deg C. All samples were completely melted between 277.7 deg C and 278.4 deg C. After the measurement the samples were clear and coloured brown. The melting point of T002615 is determined to be 278.1 deg C. (+/- 3 deg C).

Conclusions:
In conclusion, the melting point of T002615 is determined to be 278.1 deg C (+/- 3deg C) (capilary test) and 278.8 deg C (DSC).

Description of key information

In a GLP study according to OECD guideline 102 and EU method A.1 (Klimisch 1, Tognucci, 2003) the melting point of T002615 was determined to be 278.1°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
278.1 °C
