Reference

Endpoint:

melting point/freezing point

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

22 July 2010

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

test procedure in accordance with generally accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient detail

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

other: Guideline not listed

Principles of method if other than guideline:

A sample of Lankroplast V3000 was placed in a freezer at -20ºC for 16 hrs. The sample of Lankroplast V3000 was the visually assessed.

GLP compliance:

no

Type of method:

method to determine freezing temperature

Key result

Melting / freezing pt.:

< -20 °C

Atm. press.:

ca. 101 325 Pa

Following storage at -20 ^oC for 16 hours the sample remained a liquid. The melting point of Fatty acids, C12-20 and C12-20-unsatd., 2-ethylhexyl esters is therefore less than -20 ºC.

Conclusions:

Following storage at -20 oC for 16 hours the sample remained a liquid. The melting point of Fatty acids, C12-20 and C12-20-unsatd., 2-ethylhexyl esters is therefore less than -20 ºC.

Executive summary:

Following storage at -20 ^oC for 16 hours the sample remained a liquid. The melting point of Fatty acids, C12-20 and C12-20-unsatd., 2-ethylhexyl esters is therefore below -20 ºC.
