Results

A melting point of -3 °C was found for Dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane. A freezing point for the sample of the substance was observed at 6 °C.

Conclusions

The melting/freezing point temperature for the substance was found to be 6 °C.

Conclusions:
A melting point value of 6 °C at 1013 hPa was determined in a reliable study conducted according to an appropriate test protocol. It was not compliant with GLP.
