Conclusions:
The Freezing point of Ionone; CAS No. 8013-90-9 was determined with Freezing Temperature Method and it was found to be less than -10.42 °C at 977.8 hPa.
Executive summary:

The Freezing point determination of Ionone (CAS No.8013-90-9) was done using crushed ice + salt. No freezing was observed up to -10.42°C. Hence, the freezing point was inferred to be -10.42°C at hPa.

Description of key information

The freezing point of test chemical was determined by Freezing Temperature Method.  No freezing was observed up to -10.20°C. Hence, the freezing point was inferred to be less than -10.20°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-10.2 °C

Additional information

The freezing point of test chemical was determined by Freezing Temperature Method.  No freezing was observed up to -10.20°C. Hence, the freezing point was inferred to be less than -10.20°C.
