Determination of Melting Point of Pesticide Technical Materials by Capillary Method (CAT#: STEM-PPA-0052-YJL)

Introduction

The research on the melting point of pesticide technical materials is of great significance to the processing and storage of its preparations. For example, the low melting point technical materials may become soft and difficult to be sanded during the processing of suspension concentrates. And creaming, crystallization, agglomeration will occur after thermal storage, so some low-melting-point technical materials are not suitable for processing into suspending agent and the like. Since low-melting-point pesticides are easy to melt at high temperatures, they need to be stored in a cool and cool place. In the pesticide registration test, the determination of the melting point/range of the pesticide technical is an important index for the determination of its physical and chemical properties.




Principle

Melting point is a characteristic property of solid crystalline substance. It is the temperature at which the solid phase changes to the liquid phase. This phenomenon occurs when the substance is heated.
The melting point measurement is usually performed in thin glass capillary tubes with an internal diameter of 1 mm and a wall thickness of 0.1 – 0.2 mm. A finely-ground sample is placed in the capillary tube to a filling level of 2 – 3 mm and introduced in a heated stand (liquid bath or metal block) in close proximity to a high accuracy thermometer. The temperature in the heating stand is ramped at a user-programmable fixed rate. The melting process is visually inspected to determine the melting point of the sample.

Applications

Chemical industry; Cosmetic/pharmaceutical industry
