Results and discussion

Melting / freezing point
Melting / freezing pt.:
<= -50 °C

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
No freezing of the test substance was observed down to a temperature of -50°C (223.15 K).
Therefore: Freezing point of Menthene para < -50°C (< 223.15 K).
Executive summary:

The freezing point of Menthene para was measured according to the OECD guideline No. 102 (method of the freezing temperature).

No freezing of the test substance was observed down to a temperature of -50°C (223.15 K).

Therefore: Freezing point of Menthene para < -50°C (< 223.15 K).
