Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
< 90 °C
Atm. press.:
101.4 kPa

Freezing of the test subtance was not observed above -90 ºC(183 K).

Conclusions:
Freezing of the test subtance was not observed above -90 ºC (183 K).
Executive summary:

The melting/freezing temperature of the test item was determined using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), in accordance to the OECD 102 guideline under GLP conditions. The atmospheric pressure during measurements was 101.4 ± 0.4 kPa.

Freezing and/or melting was not observed above -90ºC (183 K). Therefore, the melting/freezing temperature of the test subtance lies beyond the scope of the test and the REACH requirements in accordance to the column II of the Annex VII.

Description of key information

Key study. Test method according to OECD 102. GLP Study. Freezing was not observed above -90 ºC (183 K).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
90 °C

Additional information

Freezing was not observed above -90 ºC. Therefore, the freezing point of the subtance lies beyond the scope of the REACH requirements according to the column 2 of the annex VII of the REACH Regulation (EC) 1907/2006.
