- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- A quantity of sample, normally 5 - 10 mg, is sealed into a test crucible and placed in a furnace cell along with an empty reference pan. The furnace is allowed to equilibrate to the starting temperature and both pans are then heated at a constant rate between 0.5 and 20 K/min until the final temperature is reached. The temperature of the sample and that of the reference pan are monitored. Any exothermic actiivty within the sample results in a larger heat flow out of the cell relative to the reference pan. All data is logged using a microcomputer.
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Type of method:
- differential scanning calorimetry
- Melting / freezing pt.:
- > 500 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: The sample was observed to undergo an endothermic event with an onset of 100 °C which was probably due to evaporation of water from the sample. The downward temperature ramp did not show this to be a reversible reactions (e.g. melting).
- Conclusions:
- The melting point for sodium metaborate was observed to be > 500 °C. The sample was observed to undergo an endothermic event with an onset of 100 °C which was probably due to evaporation of water from the sample. The downward temperature ramp did not show this to be a reversible reactions (e.g. melting).
- Executive summary:
The melting point study was performed under GLP compliance by differential scanning calometry. The melting point for test item was observed to be > 500 °C. The sample was observed to undergo an endothermic event with an onset of 100 °C which was probably due to evaporation of water from the sample. The downward temperature ramp did not show this to be a reversible reactions (e.g. melting).

Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
