Executive summary:

The freezing point of the test substance was determined under GLP according to BS4633 (listed in OECD 102/EU A1 guideline), crystallizing point method.

Two main runs were performed. Freezing (i.e. liquid-solid transition) occurs at the mean temperature of -1.5°C (271.5K).

Description of key information

Freezing (i.e. liquid-solid transition) occurs at the temperature of -1.5°C (271.5K).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-1.5 °C

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized OECD/EC method and under GLP, is available. It is considered as a key study. The result is retained as key data.
