Results and discussion

Melting / freezing point
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
< -35 °C

Any other information on results incl. tables

No peak was observed for freezing point measurements down to -35°C. Considering the nature of the test item, a visual validation of the absence of crystallisation at low temperature was done with a sample of the mixture stored in a freezer for at least 24 hours at -23.2 °C; the test item was still liquid after that.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
No further testing is required (< -20°C).
Executive summary:

The freezing point of the test substance was measured according to OECD102/EU A1 guideline, with the DSC method.

Two DSC runs were performed, and the result was confirmed by visual assessment of a sample put in a freezer.

No solidification or freezing of the test material was observed down to the minimum test temperature of -35°C.
