Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
< -40 °C
Atm. press.:
993.4 mBar
Decomposition:
no

The temperature of test item decreased continuously in the main test. The test item was cooled down to approximately -40 °C.

A freezing point according to the criteria of the guidelines could not be determined down to approximately -40 °C. No typical observation concerning a phase transition was observed. At the end of the measurement the test item was liquid. The atmospheric pressure was 997.8 mbar (start) to 993.4 mbar (end).

Conclusions:
At the end of the measurement (-40°C) the test item was still liquid.The freezing point of test item was stated at <-40°C.
Executive summary:

The study was performed in order to determine the freezing point of test item according to OECD 102, resp. EU A.1 guideline.

At the end of the measurement (-40°C) the test item was still liquid.The freezing point of test item was stated at <-40°C.

Description of key information

The freezing point of test item was stated as < -40°C.

The test item was still liquid at -40°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-40 °C

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized OECD/EC method and under GLP, is available. It is considered as a key study.
