Remarks on result:
other: Pressure not specified but assumed to be ambient

The thermometer was checked against a certified thermometer

 

In a preliminary test, no congealing was observed down to a temperature of -50.0 °C. Since no congealing was observed in preliminary test, no further test was undertaken.

Conclusions:
The Freezing point of test item was determined according to OECD guideline No. 102 (method of the freezing temperature), EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature) and EPA OPPTS 830.7200 (Melting Point / Melting Range). The Freezing point of test item was determined to be < - 50.0°C (223.15 K).
Executive summary:

The Freezing point of test item was determined according to OECD guideline No. 102 (method of the freezing temperature), EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature) and EPA OPPTS 830.7200 (Melting Point / Melting Range). The thermometer was checked against a certified thermometer. In a preliminary test, no congealing was observed down to a temperature of -50.0 °C. Since no congealing was observed in preliminary test, no further test was undertaken.

 

The Freezing point of test item was determined to be < - 50.0°C (223.15 K).

Description of key information

The freezing point of test item was stated as below 223.15 K (-50°C°). Test item is liquid at ambient temperature.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
223.15 K

Additional information

A reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized OECD/EC method is available. It is considered as a key study.
