Results
In the thermograms of the two DSC runs (nos. PN7356 and PN7368) an endothermic (melting) effect was observed in the temperature range of -60 °C to -45 °C. Between 100 to 265 °C a second endothermic effect (boiling) could be detected.

The first endothermic effect was observed in the temperature range of -60 to -45 °C, which can be associated with the melting of the test item. As the onset temperatures in both tests do not deviate by more than 0.5 K from their mean value of -56.15 °C, this temperature can be used as the melting point. The test item has a melting point of -56.2 °C.
Final Results
The test item has a melting point of -56.2 °C at atmospheric pressure (1013 hPa) as determined by differential scanning calorimetry according to Directive EC440/2008 Method A.1., OECD Test Guideline 102 (1995), EPA OCSPP 830.7200 (1998) and CIPAC MT 1 (2009).
At ambient conditions, the test item is a liquid. Therefore the crucibles were cooled down from ambient temperature to -100 °C with a constant cooling rate of 0.25 K/min under an inert atmosphere. After a waiting period of 30 min at -100 °C, the temperature was increased up to 500 °C at a constant heating rate of 10 K/min.
Results
In the thermograms of the two DSC runs (nos. PN8424 and PN8425) an endothermic (melting) effect was observed in the temperature range of -60 °C to -50 °C. Between 100 to 260 °C a second endothermic effect (boiling) could be detected.

During the cooling phase no thermal effect was detected. During the heating phase an endothermic effect was observed in the temperature range of -60 to -50 °C, which can be associated with the melting of the test item. As the onset temperatures in both tests do not deviate by more than 0.5 K from their mean value of -55.91 °C, this temperature can be used as the melting point. The test item has a melting point of -55.9 °C.
Final Results
The test item has a melting point of -55.9 °C at atmospheric pressure (1024 hPa) as determined by differential scanning calorimetry according to Directive EC440/2008 Method A.1., OECD Test Guideline 102 (1995), EPA OCSPP 830.7200 (1998) and CIPAC MT 1 (2009).
