Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of method:
method to determine freezing temperature
Melting / freezing pt.:
< -20 °C
Conclusions:
The freezing point of the substance is below -20ºC.
Executive summary:

The freezing point of the test substance was carried out according to OECD 102 guideline, no data on GLP.

A sample of the substance is placed in a test tube and stirred continuously. The sample is cooled and its temperature is measured at regular intervals. Starting temperature: 25ºC. When the temperature remains constant for a few reading, this temperature is recorded as the freezing temperature. Final temperature: -20ºC, with a rate of -1ºC/min.

Result of the freezing point of the substance is below -20ºC.

Description of key information

Key study: OECD Guideline 102. The freezing point of the test substance was determinated to be lower than -20ºC.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
