Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

method to determine freezing temperature
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
< -20 °C
Atm. press.:
1 013 hPa

Pressure not reported, but it is assumed that the result related to ambient pressure.

The test material become increasingly viscous during cooling.

Conclusions:
The freezing point of TCPP is <-20°C.
Executive summary:

The freezing point of TCPP was determined in according to EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature).

An aliquot of TCPP was placed into a test tube containing a thermometer. A wire loop with which the sample could be agitated was placed inside the tube to ensure sample homogeneity during cooling. The test tube was surrounded by a glass jacket and then placed into a large beaker containing a dry ice/acetone mixture. The temperature and observations of the test material were recorded approx. every 30 seconds. The dry ice/acetone bath was maintained until the temperature had reached approx. -20°C.

Description of key information

The freezing point of TCPP substance is <-20°C, using the Method for Determination of Crystallizing Point (EU-A.1).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-20 °C

Additional information

Should be read as < -20 °C
