Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Pre-test results:

Room temperature: liquid

5°C: liquid

- 20°C: slightly frozen

- 80°C: solid

Main study results:

The determination was performed in duplicate. The following values were recorded:

Melting point/range

Begin

End

First determination

-58.2 °C(215.0 K)

-46.2 °C(227.0 K)

Second determination

-58.2 °C(215.0 K)

-45.8 °C(227.4 K)

Conclusions:
The measured melting range of the test item is -58.2 to -46.0 °C (215.0 to 227.2 K).
Executive summary:

The test item showed a melting range, not a melting point, which was determined as -58.2 to -46.0 °C with an estimated accuracy of ± 0.4 °C.

No observations were made which might cause doubts on the validity of the study outcome. Therefore, the result of the study is considered valid.

Description of key information

The test item showed a melting range, not a melting point, which was determined as -58.2 to -46.0°C with an estimated accuracy of ± 0.4°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Key study conducted according to the OECD 102 Guideline and the EU A.1 method, under GLP without deviation and with certificate of analysis included. Therefore a reliability of 1 is assigned and the result of this key study is proposed as the end point value.
