Observations:          The test item became increasingly viscous during cooling
Result:                      Freezing temperature <-20°C (<253 K)

Conclusions:
The freezing temperature of the test item has been determined to less than -20.0°C (<253 K).
Executive summary:
Less than -20°C (253 K) using BS4633: Method for the Determination of Crystallizing Point, designed to be compatible with Method A1 Melting/Freezing Temperature of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 102 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995

Description of key information

The freezing point of the substance was determined to be <-20ºC; study conducted in accordance with OECD 102 and EU Method A.1; Fox and White (2011).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-20 °C

Additional information

In a GLP compliant melting/freezing point study conducted in accordance with standardised guidelines, the freezing point of the test substance was determined using the 'method to determine freezing temperature'. Under the conditions of the test, the freezing point of the substance was determined to be <-20ºC.
