1,5-dimethyl-1-vinylhept-4-enyl acetate

Melting point / freezing point

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Endpoint:

melting point/freezing point

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Column II of REACH Annex VII provides the adaptation that "The study does not need to be conducted below a lower limit of -20°C". Therefore, a limit test is performed to check that the melting point of the substance is lower than -20°C.

GLP compliance:

no

Type of method:

method to determine freezing temperature

Key result

Melting / freezing pt.:

< -20 °C

Remarks on result:

not determinable

Remarks:

Limit test at -20°C

The substance was observed to be a clear liquid at 20°C, and after 48h at -20°C.

Conclusions:

Melting point < -20°C

Executive summary:

The melting point of the test item was determined using a limit test at -20°C; as a sample stored at -20°C for 48h remained liquid, the melting point is < -20°C.

Description of key information

The study does not need to be conducted below a lower limit of - 20 °C according to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex VII, column 2

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:

-20 °C

Additional information

A limit test was performed and showed that the substance remains a liquid after 48h at -20°C.
