Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
< -25 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 1 013 mBar
Decomposition:
no
Sublimation:
no
Remarks on result:
not determinable
Remarks:
The freezing temperature of Test item was determined to be less than -25 °C.
Conclusions:
The freezing temperature of Test item was determined to be less than -25 °C.
Executive summary:

EU Method A.1 (2012) - An aliquot of test item was placed into a test tube contained within a Dewar flask containing a dry ice/acetone mixture. The test item was continuously stirred throughout the test. The temperature and observations of the test item were recorded at periodic intervals. The dry ice/acetone bath was maintained until the sample temperature had reached below -25 °C or until the test item solidified.

In a trial determination, the test item did not solidify as the temperature was decreased from ambient down to -25 °C. No further testing was necessary.

The freezing temperature of the test item was established as being < - 25 ºC.

Description of key information

Melting/ freezing point = <-25 ºC; OECD 102; Sydney, P. (2012)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-25 °C
