Observation: No change in test item during testing

Result: Freezing temperature <-20°C (<253 K)

Neither of the samples froze under the conditions of the test

Conclusions:
A freezing temperature of <-20°C (<253 K) at 1013 hPa was determined for the substance using a relevant test method and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable.

Description of key information

Freezing temperature <-20°C (<253 K) (OECD 102)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-20 °C

Additional information

A freezing temperature value of <-20°C (<253 K) at 1013 hPa was determined for the submission substance using a capillary method (melting temperature device with liquid bath) in accordance with OECD Test Guideline 102 and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable.
