Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
4.12.2009
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: GLP guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
thermal analysis
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
> 640 °C
Conclusions:
No endothermic peak corresponding to melting of the test substance was recorded in the tested temperature range from 35°C to 640°C.
Definite value of melting temperature of the test substance, Slimes and Sludges, blast furnace and steelmaking, could not be determined in the tested temperature range from 35°C to 640°C.
Executive summary:

The melting temperature of the test substance, Slimes and Sludges, blast furnace and steelmaking was determined. The Differential Scanning Calorimetry method was used.

The procedures used in the study were in accordance with:

Method A.1. Melting/Freezing temperature, Council Regulation (EC) No.440/2008, Published in O.J. L 142, 2008

OECD Test Guideline No.102, Melting Point/Melting Range, Adopted July 27, 1995

No endothermic peak corresponding to melting of the test substance was recorded in the tested temperature range from 35°C to 640°C.

Definite value of melting temperatureof the test substance, Slimes and Sludges, blast furnace and steelmaking, could not bedetermined in the tested temperature range from 35°C to 640°C.

Description of key information

Thermal analysis method according to OECD TGD 102 was used. Extended method on the principle of thermogravimetry was used to measure in temperature range from 25°C to 1100°C (according to internal standard AKP 971) without GLP standard.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Definite value of melting temperature of the test substance, Slimes and Sludges, blast furnace and steelmaking, could not be determined neither in the tested temperature range from 35°C to 640°C or 25 - 1100°C.
