Test



Melting temperature (°C)



1



< -100



2



< -100



Mean value



< -100 (< 173K)



Approximate accuracy of equipment: ± 0.5 K (up to 600K)


 


The DSC diagrams show no exothermic or endothermic peak in the temperature range between –100°C (173 K) and +25°C (298 K).


 


Therefore a melting temperature or change in the structure of the substance must be at less than –100°C (< 173 K). The thermogram is attached.

Conclusions:
A melting point of < -100°C at 1013 hPa has been determined for the test substance using a relevant method, but not in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable.

Description of key information

Melting point: < -100°C at 1013 hPa (OECD 102)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-100 °C

Additional information

A measured melting point value of < -100°C at 1013 hPa was determined for the substance using a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) method in accordance with OECD Test Guideline 102 and in compliance with a known quality system (ISO 9001:2008). The result is considered to be reliable.
