Conclusions:
The test item shows no melting of crystalline subcomponents between -75 °C and 50 °C. The cooling run shows a crystallization.
Executive summary:

The melting point of the test item was determined using Differential Scanning Calorimetry according to OECD TG 102. The test item was cycled between -90°C and 50°C with a heating/cooling rate of 10 K/min in 2 cycles. A capsulated crucible was used. The test item showed no melting of crystalline subcomponents between -75 °C and 50 °C. The cooling run showed a crystallization.

Description of key information

The test item melting point is < -75 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
