Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
method to determine freezing temperature
Melting / freezing pt.:
20.8 °C

RESULTS

- Determination 1: 20.5 °C

- Determination 2 : 21.1 °C

- Mean [3 sig. figs.]: 20.8 °C

- Supercooling was observed with the temperature dropping to about 17 °C prior to solidification at the reported 'plateau' temperature.

Conclusions:
The freezing point of the test substance is 20.8 °C (294 K).
Executive summary:

The study was performed to EC Method A.1 and in compliance with GLP. The pure test substance was found to have a freezing point of 20. 8 °C (294 K), i.e. it is normally present as a liquid at room temperature.

20.8 °C, pure test substance, OECD TG 102, method to determine freezing temperature, EU Method A.1, Husband 1997

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
20.8 °C

Additional information

Another study was performed to determine the freezing point of the test substance in technical material in accordance with OECD TG 102 and in compliance with GLP. A freezing point of 17.5 °C was observed.
