Results and discussion

Melting / freezing point
Melting / freezing pt.:
> -82 - < -24 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 1 013.25 hPa
Remarks on result:
other: In a duplicate experiment it was found that the test substance has no defined freezing point or freezing range.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
No freezing point/freezing range of the test substance could be determined. The viscosity of the liquid test substance increases with decreasing temperature until finally, the test substance is completely solidified.
Executive summary:

A duplicate experiment was performed to determine the freezing point/freezing range of DC 5067. In a pretest it was found that the test substance still flows at a temperature of -24°C and is solidified at -82°C. In a duplicate experiment it was found that the test substance has no defined freezing point or freezing range. With decreasing temperature, the viscosity of the test substance increased, without showing a clear phase transition of the liquid into the solid state. In conclusion, no freezing point/freezing range of the test substance could be determined. The viscosity of the liquid test substance increases with decreasing temperature until finally, the test substance is completely solidified.
