Conclusions:

Using MPBVP v1.43 the melting point of the test item was calculated to be -24.13 °C. The substance is within the applicability domain of the model. Thus, the estimation is considered to be accurate.

Executive summary:

The melting point was calculated using MPBVP v1.43 as part of EPISuite v4.11 from US Environmental Protection Agency.

Using MPBVP v1.43 the melting point of the test item was calculated to be -24.13 °C (EPI Suite, 2014).

The adequacy of a prediction depends on the following conditions:

a) the (Q)SAR model is scientifically valid: the scientific validity is established according to the OECD principles for (Q)SAR validation;

b) the (Q)SAR model is applicable to the query chemical: a (Q)SAR is applicable if the query chemical falls within the defined applicability domain of the model;

c) the (Q)SAR result is reliable: a valid (Q)SAR that is applied to a chemical falling within its applicability domain provides a reliable result;

d) the (Q)SAR model is relevant for the regulatory purpose.

 

For assessment and justification of these 4 requirements the QMRF and QPRF files were developed and attached to this study record.

Description of key information

The melting point of the test item was experimentally determined to be <0 °C. Additionally, this value was supported with a QSAR calculaion. Using MPBVP v1.43 the melting point of the test item was calculated to be -24.13 °C.

Additional information

In accordance with column 2 Annex VII section 7.2 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH), the test on melting point does not need to be conducted as the melting point of the substance is below -20 °C.

In a study perfomed according to OECD 102, EU A.1 and JIS K 00-64 the melting point of the test item was determined. A sample in a capillary tube was cooled down in a water bath with ice, equipped with a thermometer. All observations were made visually. The melting point of the test item was determined to be below 0 °C.

Additionally, the melting point of the test item was calculated using MPBVP v1.43 as part of EPISuite v4.11 from US Environmental Protection Agency. Using MPBVP v1.43 the melting point of the test item was calculated to be -24.13 °C (EPI Suite, 2014).
