Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
< -43 °C
Conclusions:
The freezing temperature of the test substance was < –43°C at atmospheric pressure.
Executive summary:

The freezing temperature of the test substance was determined to be < -43°C at atmospheric pressure. No typical effect indicating a phase transition was observed. At the end of the measurement, the test item was a highly viscous liquid. This study is reliable without restriction (Klimisch 1) as it was performed according to guidelines OECD 102, EU A.1, OPPTS 830.7200 and ISO 1392. The study was not GLP-compliant, however the test facility is GLP-compliant.

Description of key information

The freezing temperature of the test substance was determined to be < -43°C at atmospheric pressure.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-43 °C

Additional information

This freezing temperature was determined in a non-GLP study performed according to guidelines OECD 102, EU A.1, OPPTS 830.7200 and ISO 1392 (2016). The study is considered to be reliable without restriction (Klimisch 1). No typical effect indicating a phase transition was observed. At the end of the measurement, the test item was a highly viscous liquid.
