Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
The main test was not performed in duplicate, but a preliminary test was performed

CoA: Dr. Straetmans Chemische Produkte GmbH, June 16, 2008
Colourless liquid
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
ca. -8 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 1 atm

The temperature of the test item decreased continuously. Starting from 20 °C, the test item was cooled to -40 °C.

The freezing temperature of the test item was determined at -8 °C. At the end of the experiment the test item was solid.

Conclusions:
The freezing temperature of the test item was determined at -8 ° C.
Executive summary:

The freezing point was determined by cooling the test item in sample tubes following study guidelines (EU method A.1, OECD 102, ISO 1392).

The temperature of the test item decreased continuously. Starting from 20 ° C, the test item was cooled to -40 ° C. The freezing temperature of the test item was determined at -8 °C. At the end of the experiment, the test item was solid.

Description of key information

The freezing temperature of the test item was determined at -8 ° C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
