Any other information on results incl. tables

Calibration of the thermometer
The thermometer was checked against a certified thermometer on February 11, 2021.
A correction did not need to be applied.

 

Preliminary test
The preliminary test was performed as described. No congealing was observed down to a temperature of -50.0 °C.

 

Main test
As no congealing was observed in the preliminary test, no further tests were undertaken.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
No freezing was observed down to a temperature of -50.0 °C (223.15 K)
Therefore: Freezing point of 2-methyl-3-(p-tolyl)propionaldehyde < -50.0 °c (223.15 K).
Executive summary:

The freezing point of 2-methyl-3-(p-tolyl)propionaldehyde was measured according to the OECD guideline No. 102 ( method of the freezing temperature).
No freezing was observed down to a temperature of -50.0 °C (223.15 K). 

Therefore: Freezing point of 2-methyl-3-(p-tolyl)propionaldehyde < -50.0 °C (223.15 K).
