Pre-test:

After evaluation the following values were recorded:

Values Pre-Test

Room Temperature

3.7°C

-20.2°C

-80°C

darkbrown-yellow viscous liquid

Liquid, like paste

liquid,

like ropy paste

solid

 

Final Result

In a pre-test, the test substancewas still liquid at - 20.2 °C and frozen at - 80 °C.

According toREGULATION (EC) No 1907/2006 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL, Annex VII, dated 18. December 2006 (and further amendments)by Commission Regulationthe determination of the melting- / freezing point does not need to be conducted below a lower limit of - 20 °C.

Therefore, no additional test was conducted and the freezing/melting point is stated as: < - 20 °C (< 253.15 K).

 

The appearance of the test substance was stated as darkbrown-yellow viscous liquid.

Conclusions:
The freezing/melting point is stated as: < - 20 °C (< 253.15 K).
Executive summary:

In a pre-test, the test substance was still liquid at - 20.2 °C and frozen at - 80 °C.

According to REGULATION (EC) No 1907/2006 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL, Annex VII, dated 18. December 2006 (and further amendments) by Commission Regulationthe determination of the melting- / freezing point does not need to be conducted below a lower limit of - 20 °C.

Therefore, no additional test was conducted and the freezing/melting point is stated as:

< - 20 °C (< 253.15 K).

Description of key information

The freezing/melting point is stated as:

< - 20 °C (< 253.15 K).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

In a pre-test, the test substance was still liquid at - 20.2 °C and frozen at - 80 °C.
