Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Test results:

Test D

The test was conducted in an open aluminium crucible. The sample was observed to undergo an endothermic event -18.3 deg C (start of freezing) which continued for the duration of the test. On completion of the testing a cloudy white, viscous liquid remained.

Test E

The test was conducted in an open aluminium crucible. The sample was observed to undergo an endothermic event -15.3 deg C (start of freezing) which continued for the duration of the test. On completion of the testing a cloudy white, viscous liquid remained.

The freezing end point was beyond the limits of the equipment.

Result : < -15 deg C

Conclusions:
Freezing point was determined to be -15°C.
