Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test substance 'Reaction Mass of Mixed Xylenes and Sulphur Monochloride' was considered to be solid at -25oC, this is therefore reported as the freezing point.
Executive summary:

A study was performed in accordance with OECD guideline 102 to determine the 'pour point' of the test substance ' Reaction Mass of Mixed Xylenes and Sulphur Monochloride'. An initial test showed that the pour point was the most appropriate method for the test substance. The test substance was cooled at 1oC minute with an equilibration time of 2 minutes at each temperature, after which the sample was evaluated for movement. The viscosity of the sample increased with reducing temperature. At -25oC no movement was observed and the sample was considered solid.
