Method Details		Observations
Guideline	-
Method	Freezing Temperature Method
Principle of method	The freezing point of a pure sample is the temperature at which transition from liquid to solid state takes place at atmospheric pressure.
Quantity of test item used	ml/g	1 ml
Type of cooling bath used	Cold Water Crushed Ice Crushed Ice-Salt Dry Ice Other (specify)	Crushed Ice- Salt
Type and model no. of temperature sensor used	Glass thermometer Thermocouple Thermistor Other (specify)	Glass thermometer
Atmospheric pressure	hPa	967.9 hPa
Freezing point °C	°C	less than -8.80°C

Conclusions:

The freezing point determination of test chemical was done using crushed ice and salt. No freezing was observed up to -8.80°C. Hence, the freezing point was inferred to be less than -8.80°C at 967.9 hPa.

Executive summary:

The freezing point determination of test chemical was done using crushed ice and salt. No freezing was observed up to -8.80°C. Hence, the freezing point was inferred to be less than -8.80°C at 967.9 hPa.

Description of key information

The freezing point determination of test chemical was done using crushed ice and salt. No freezing was observed up to -8.80°C. Hence, the freezing point was inferred to be less than -8.80°C at 967.9 hPa.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:

-8.8 °C

Additional information

The freezing point determination of test chemical was done using crushed ice and salt. No freezing was observed up to -8.80°C. Hence, the freezing point was inferred to be less than -8.80°C at 967.9 hPa.

From other reliable sources, the freezing point of test chemical was observed to be -12 degree C.
