Melting point / freezing point

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Endpoint:

melting point/freezing point

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)

GLP compliance:

yes

Type of method:

method to determine freezing temperature

Key result

Melting / freezing pt.:

< -80 °C

Atm. press.:

>= 1 atm

Decomposition:

no

Sublimation:

no

Conclusions:

In a pre-test, the test substance Terpenic Base was 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 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:
< - 80 °C (< 193.15 K).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:

-80 °C
