Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
< -80 °C
Atm. press.:
1 002 hPa
Decomposition:
no

Crystallization and melting of the test item were not observed by experiments on the DSC (range = -90 °C to 400 °C). Two subsamples of the test substance were then placed in freezers for 22 hours at -19.5 ± 0.5 °C and at -83.5 °C ± 1.8 °C, respectively. After storage it was visually observed that the test substance was a liquid. Based on this it was concluded that the melting temperature of the test substance is < -80 °C.

Conclusions:
A melting point of < -80 °C was observed for MTDID 22327 as determined by EU Method A.1.
Executive summary:

The melting point of MTDID 22327 was tested using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Crystallization and melting of the test substance was not observed by DSC. Two subsamples of the test substance were then placed in freezers for 22 hours at -19.5 ± 0.5 °C and at -83.5 °C ± 1.8 °C, respectively. After storage it was visually observed that the test substance was a liquid. Based on this it was concluded that the melting temperature of the test substance is < -80 °C. The study was conducted in accordance with EU Method A.1 and was GLP compliant; therefore the study is considered reliable without restrictions.

Description of key information

A melting point of < -80 °C was observed for MTDID 22327 as determined by EU Method A.1.
