25 mL of the test item were placed in an flask. The flasked was closed with a plug with two holes. Through the holes a thermometer and a stirrer was inserted. The flasked was placed in an acetone cooling bath and slowly cooled down by the addtion of dry ice.


 

Conclusions:
The melting point of the test item was determined to be below -65°C.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to OECD test guideline 102, Directive 92/69/EWG method A.1. The melting point / melting range was determined by placement of the sample into a cooling bath. The test item was cooled with dry ice until -65 °C without freezing of the sample. The test item had melting temperature below - 65 °C.

Description of key information

The test item had a melting point <-65 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
