Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Executive summary:

The freezing point of the test substance was determined under GLP according to BS4633 (listed in OECD 102/EU A1 guideline), crystallizing point method.

Two main runs were performed. Freezing (i.e. liquid-solid transition) occurs at the mean temperature of -1.5°C (271.5K).

Description of key information

Freezing (i.e. liquid-solid transition) occurs at the temperature of -1.5°C (271.5K).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-1.5 °C

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. The result is retained as key data.
