Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
< -80 °C

The thermograms of the DSC runs are provided in the experimental report.

At ambient conditions, the test item is a liquid. Since no endothermic effects were observed down to a temperature of -80°C, the test item has no freezing/melting point within the investigated temperature range.

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

The freezing/melting point of the test substance was determined under GLP according to OECD 102/EU A1 guideline, by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) method. The liquid was first cooled down to -80°C, and no endothermic effect was observed.

The test substance has no freezing/melting point down to a temperature of -80°C at atmospheric pressure.

Description of key information

No freezing point down to -80 °C.
No further testing required (< -20°C).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized OECD/EC method and under GLP, is available. It is considered as a key study. As no freezing was observed down to -80°C, the result is expressed as a limit value, and cannot be retained as key data.
