- Deviations:
- no
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Method: Differential Scanning Calorimetry
In a measurement with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) a sample of the test item and a
reference material (identical crucible without the test item) are subjected to the same controlled
temperature program. The difference in the temperatures of the test item and the reference
material is the original measurement signal which is internally assigned to the heat flow rate. The
heat flux DSC belongs to the class of heat-exchanging calorimeters. A defined exchange of the
heat to be measured takes place via a thermal resistance. In contrast in the power compensation
DSC, the heat to be measured is compensated with electric energy, by increasing or decreasing
an adjustable heating power.
When the sample undergoes a transition involving a change in enthalpy, for example an
endothermic melting or boiling transition that change is indicated by a departure from the base line
of the heat flow record. The peak area is proportional to the change in enthalpy. - GLP compliance:
- no
- Other quality assurance:
- other: Tests were carried out according to the requirements of EN ISO 9001
- Type of method:

- Storage condition of test material: between room temperature and 4°C - Key result
- Melting / freezing pt.:
- -62 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 1 028 hPa
- Conclusions:
- The melting temperature of the test item was determined by differential scanning calorimetry according to EN ISO 11357-3 (Plastics-Differential scanning Calometry- Part 3 Determination of Temperature and enthalpy of melting and crystallization) and EEC-Directive 92/69 EEC, Part A, Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties, A. 1 ,,Melting temperature"", EEC Publication No. L383, December 1992.
An endothermic peak at -59 °C with an extrapolated onset temperature of -62 °C indicates the melting point. - Executive summary:
The melting temperature of the test item was determined by differential scanning calorimetry according to EN ISO 11357-3 (Plastics-Differential scanning Calometry- Part 3 Determination of Temperature and enthalpy of melting and crystallization) and EEC-Directive 92/69 EEC, Part A, Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties, A. 1 ,,Melting temperature"", EEC Publication No. L383, December 1992.

Description of key information
Read across to the structural analogue 2-Ethylhexyl methacrylate and n-hexyl methacrylate both category members of the lower alkyl methacrylate category:
The melting temperature of the structural analogue 2-Ethylhexyl methacrylate showed a melting point below -50°C.
For n-hexyl methacrylate a melting point of -62 °C was determined.
For n-octyl methacrylate a melting point below -20°C was calculated by a vailid calculation programm, therefore a melting point below -20 °C can be anticipated.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- -20 °C
Additional information
The melting temperature of the structural analogue 2 -Ethylhexyl methacrylate showed a melting point below - 50 °C. For n-Octyl methacrylate, a melting point below - 20 °C was calculated by a valid calculation programm, therefore a melting point below -20 °C can be anticipated.
