Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

-39.3 °C
Atm. press.:
1 013 hPa

Visual observations: The substance started to melt, forming first little drops, then a liquid with visible specks and smears. Disappearance of visible unmelted parts was recorded as end of melting process.

The following values were recorded:

First determination: Begin: -39.8 °C, End: -39.4 °C, Mean: -39.6 °C

Sec. determination: Begin: -39.6 °C, End: -39.1 °C, Mean: -39.4 °C

Evaluation

The mean of both determinations gives the following value for the melting point:

Melting point: - 39.3°C

Estimated accuracy: ± 0.1°C

Validity

• The values of the single determinations show a difference of 0.25 K. This is within the demanded range of 0.5 K

• A defined melting point could be determined (difference between beginning and end of the melting process ≤ 0.5 K)

Conclusions:
Sika Härter LJ has a melting point of -39.3°C at 1013 hPa.
Executive summary:

Sika Härter LJ was tested for the melting point in a study according to EU method A.1, respectively OECD Guideline 102. A melting point of -39.3 °C with an estimated accuracy of ± 0.1 °C was determined. The test item showed the typical behaviour of a pure substance with a defined melting point. No observations were made which might cause doubts on the validity of the study outcome. (LAUS, 2004)
