Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)

no
Type of method:
method to determine freezing temperature
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
< -80 °C

In a pre-test, the test substancehexyl isobutyratewas still unfrozen and liquid at – 80 °C. According to REGULATION (EC) No 1907/2006 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL, Annex VII, dated 18. December 2006 (and further amendments) by Commission Regulationthe determination of the melting- / freezing point does not need to be conducted below a lower limit of - 20 °C.

Therefore, no additional test was conducted and the freezing point is stated as: < - 80 °C (< 193.15 K).

Conclusions:
The freezing point is stated as: < - 80 °C (< 193.15 K).

Description of key information

The melting/freezing point was tested according to the OECD Guideline 102. The freezing point is stated as: < - 80 °C (< 193.15 K).

Key value for chemical safety assessment
