Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- -86 °C
Additional information
The melting/freezing point data for the registered substance have been sourced from handbooks or collections of reliable data. A melting/freezing point of -86°C at 1013 hPa has been reported for the substance in two separate handbooks. Since melting/freezing point study is not required to be conducted below a lower limit of -20°C, the available data are used as weight of evidence.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
