*/ As the value of an initial freezing point for the measurement No. 1 the value which corresponded to 48th minute was assumed.

**/ As the value of an initial freezing point for the measurement No. 2 the value which corresponded to 36th minute was assumed.

 

 

Conclusions:
The average value of an initial freezing point is equal to -6.7 °C.
Executive summary:

The determination of the freezing point of test substance was carried out according to EU A.1 Method “Melting/freezing Temperature” and a standard PN-ISO 1392:2002. Test liquid was cooled and the freezing point was determined by observing the decreasing temperature. The average value of an initial freezing point was equal to - 6.7 °C.

Description of key information

Key study: Test method EU A.1. GLP study. The average value of an initial freezing point was equal to - 6.7 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-6.7 °C

Additional information

Key study: The determination of the freezing point of test substance was carried out according to EU A.1 Method “Melting/freezing Temperature” and a standard PN-ISO 1392:2002. The average value of an initial freezing point was equal to - 6.7 °C.
