Hi John,

I was on leave during 6/21 - 7/14/2012 and I asked Kathy Schechter do this review for me. It might h ave an oversight. Sorry!

I reviewed the test results on the melting point an d boiling point of this HPV2 test chemical, Oxidize d Castor Oil (CASRN:68187-84-8), and found their test results we re acceptable to EPA.

From the melting point tested result, it indicated there was no melting point in the temperature range of -150 o C to

50 o C. The test sample is a liquid form. Usually, th e freezing point measurement could be performed and reports the freezing point instead of melting point. However, there was no freezing point could be observed eithe r. Therefore, the

statement of " no melting point or freezing point in the temperat ure range of -150 o C to 50 o C could be obtained " could be adopted to fulfill this data endpoint.

The boiling point tested results indicated there we re three data points, 102 o C, 116 o C, and 218 o C, respectively. There three data are acceptable to fulfill the test requi rement for the boiling point. The nature of substa nce is a complexed substance with various degrees of oxidation on the Castor oil. Therefore, the boiling point could be reported as a range

value of " 102 - 218 o C " for the test result instead listing three differe nt values.

Please let me know if you have any further question

.

Daniel

Daniel, Bob,

Paul sent studies submitted by Vertellus to you abo ut seven weeks ago for your review. Please let us know if the studies are acceptable. If they are not acceptable, please detail why not.

Thank you.
