The evaluation of the data was performed using the software STARe. As result, a thermogram was obtained in which the heat flow of the investigated sample is given as a function of the temperature. By integrating the area under the heat flow signals, the enthalpy of the process was obtained. Using a linear heating rate of 0.5 °C/min the freezing point of the test item was determined to be - 23.5 °C (249.6 K).

Conclusions:
The test item has a mean freezing point of - 23.5 °C.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted in order to determine the melting point of the test item according to OECD test guideline 102 and European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, Method A.1. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements were performed. The test item cooled down from room temperature to - 40 °C. Using a linear heating rate of 0.5 °C/min the freezing point of the test item was determined to be - 23.5 °C (249.6 K). This value is the mean of two measurements.

Description of key information

The test item has a mean freezing point of - 23.5 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-23.5 °C
