Results and discussion

Melting / freezing point
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
< -80 °C
Atm. press.:
1 atm

Any other information on results incl. tables

The melting point was determined by DSC. In order to further investigate the melting temperature of the test substance, two samples of the test substance were stored for 18 hours at -22.2±0.6°C and -82.4± 2.1°C. It was observed after storage that the test substance was a liquid and a very viscous liquid respectively. According to this it was concluded that the melting temperature of the test substance was < -80°C (< 193K).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The melting temperature of Cedarwood Atlas oil was determined to be < -80°C (< 193K) using DSC-curve and applying a storage experiment in the freezer.
Executive summary:

The melting temperature of Cedarwood Atlas oil was investigated according to OECD guideline 102 under GLP and was found to be <-80ºC (<193K ) at normal atmospheric pressure.
