Storage conditions: Room temperature
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
ca. -20 °C
Remarks on result:
not determinable
Conclusions:
Melting point was < -20 ˚C.
Executive summary:

The test method consists of heating or cooling the test material at a controlled rate in a specified purge gas (nitrogen) at a controlled flow rate and continuously monitoring with a thermometer the difference in temperature or the difference in heat input between a reference material and a test material due to energy changes in the material. Melting point was < -20 ˚C.

Description of key information

The study does not need to be conducted below a lower limit of - 20 °C. The melting point and crystallization temperature was carried out using ASTM D3418 method: Transition Temperatures and Enthalpies of Fusion and Crystallization of Polymers by Differential Scanning Calorimetry. The results of the test material was found to be less than -20 Celsius degrees.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

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