Conclusions:
The freezing point was determined to be < 20 C
Executive summary:

Melting/Freezing Point. Less than -20 °C (<253 K), determined using a freezing point procedure designed to be compatible with Method A.1 Melting/Freezing Temperature of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 102 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995

Description of key information

Melting/Freezing Point.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-20 °C

Additional information

The correct value is < -20C. The system refuses to accept the "<" descriptor in the "key value for chemical safety assessment" in this entry area.
