Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
03 January 2019 - 04 January 2019
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Version / remarks:
27 July 1995
Deviations:
no

Pre-test results

Room Temperature

4.4°C

-21.6°C

-80°C

Orange-brown viscous liquid

Bit more viscous than at room temperature

Not flowable anymore but easily piercable, like jelly

Solid, like ice

Conclusions:
In a pre-test, the test item 7-(4-ethyl-1-methyloctyl)quinolin-8-ol was still unfrozen and piercable at – 20 °C.
At -80 °C the test item was frozen. 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 Regulation the 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:
below - 20 °C (< 253.15 K).

Description of key information

One key study was performed in accordance with OECD TG 102 and under the conditions of GLP.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
253.15 K
