Results

In the temperature range of 50 - 70 °C an endothermic effect (melting), was observed. Between approx. 160 - 270 °C a second endothermic effect (boiling) could be detected.

During the heating phase an endothermic effect was observed in the temperature range of 50 - 70 °C, which can be assigned to the melting of the test item. As the onset temperatures in both tests deviate less than 0.5 K from their mean value of 51.99 °C, the test item has a melting point of 52.0 °C.

The test item showed a second endothermic signal in the temperature range of approx. 160 – 270 °C that can be assigned to the boiling of the test item. No further thermal effects were observed up to the maximum test temperature of 500 °C.

 

Final Results

The test item has a melting point of 52.0 °C at atmospheric pressure (1001 hPa) as determined by differential scanning calorimetry according to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.1. and OECD Test Guideline 102 (1995).

Conclusions:
A melting point value of 52 °C (at 1001 hPa) was determined for the test substance according to E.U. Method A.1.
