EC number: 942-425-2 | CAS number: -
Melting point / freezing point
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- melting point/freezing point
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- From 05/03/2008 to 21/05/2008
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study

- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
- Deviations:
- no
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: BS4633; Determination of crystallizing point
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Remarks:
- inspection 15-16/11/2006; signed 26/02/2007
- Type of method:
- method to determine freezing temperature
- Melting / freezing pt.:
- < -7 °C
- Executive summary:
The freezing point of the test substance was determined under GLP according to BS4633 (listed in OECD 102/EU A1 guideline), crystallizing point method.
Two main runs were performed. Viscosity increased, but no solidification was observed at the lowest testing temperature.
The freezing temperature of the test substance was determined as less than -7°C.
Reference
On cooling, the test material became highly viscous but did not solidify.
Detailed results and graphs are available in the study report.
Accuracy +/-0.5 °C
Description of key information
Freezing point (i.e. transition from liquid to solid) < -7°C
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized EC method and under GLP, is available. Therefore, it is considered as a key study. As no solidification was observed down to the minimum testing temperature, the result is expressed as a limit value, and cannot be retained as key data.
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).
