- no
- Type of method:
- method to determine freezing temperature
- Key result
- Melting / freezing pt.:
- -15 °C
- Atm. press.:
- >= 988.8 - <= 991.8 mBar
- Remarks on result:
- other: result of 2 replicate measurements
- Conclusions:
- The test item has a freezing temperature of -15°C.
- Executive summary:
The freezing point of the test item was assessed according to OECD 102, with a crystallisation tube. The test item was cooled and a clear phase transition was observed at -15°C, which can be associated to the freezing of the test item. At the end of the measurement, the test item was solid and white.
Reference
A clear phase transition was observed at -15 °C. At the end of the measurement the test item was solid and white.
Description of key information
For this endpoint, 1 study is available in which the freezing point was determined experimentally according to OECD 102, crystallisation tube method. The test item was found to freeze at a temperature -15°C. Additionally, a freezing point was reported in the CRC Handbook (1993): -15.05°C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- -15 °C
