Specific details on test material used for the study:
Batch: PE00083052
Purity: 96.3%
Melting / freezing pt.:
< -20 °C

Both samples did not freeze under the conditions of the test, going as low as – 20°C.

Freezing temperature <-20 °C (253 K).

Conclusions:
The freezing temperature of the test item has been determined to be less than -20 °C (253 K).
Executive summary:

Melting/Freezing Temperature.The freezing temperature of the test item has been determined to be less than -20 °C (253 K), by the liquid bath method, using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A1 Melting/Freezing Temperature of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 102 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995.

Description of key information
