Remarks:
Inspected on 15/16 November 2017, signed on 15 May 2018
Type of method:
differential scanning calorimetry
Remarks:
Preliminary test only
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Appearance: yellow to red, clear liquid
Storage room temperature: 20 ± 5 °C (293.15 ±5 K)
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
< -20 °C
Remarks on result:
other: Premliminary Test Only
Remarks:
According to REACH Regulation Annex VII, the determination of the melting / freezing point does not need to be conducted below a lower limit of - 20 °C; therefore no main test was performed.

Finding


Pre-test


The test item appeared still liquid, slightly more viscous  at -18.9°C (254.25 K) than the one at 3.1°C (276.25 K) which was still liquid like original state.


At -80°C (193.15 K) the test item was solid, like ice.


Melting point was additionally investigated at -20.8°C (252.35 K) and the test item was not frozen.

Conclusions:
In the preliminary test the susbtance appeared liquid at -20.8 °C (252.35 K) so the freezing/melting point was stated as < - 20 °C (< 253.15 K).
Executive summary:

The melting point of the test substance was determined under GLP according to OECD 102 / EU A.1 guideline, using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) method.


In the preliminary test, the test item was not frozen at -20.8°C (252.35 K) so According to REACH Annex VII, no main test was performed and the freezing/melting point was stated as < - 20 °C (< 253.15 K).


 

Description of key information

The freezing/melting point was stated as < - 20 °C (< 253.15 K).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-20 °C

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized OECD 102 / EU A.1 method and under GLP, is available.
It is considered as a key study, and the result is retained as key data.
