Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Melting point/freezing point: -38 °C

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-38 °C

Additional information

A melting point value of -38 °C is reported in a handbook (Merck, 1996) which has been subject to peer-review and in which the original data sources are traceable. The result is considered to be reliable and has been assigned as key study. Similar boiling points of -38 to -44°C are reported in various secondary sources.
