Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

Melting / freezing point
Remarks on result:
other: No freezing point /freezing range could be determined. The viscosity of the test substance increased with decreasing temperature until finally, the test substance was completely solid. At the temperature (-27.4 and -31.3°C) a stirrer could not be moved.

Any other information on results incl. tables

no remarks

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
No freezing point /freezing range could be determined. The viscosity of the test substance increased with decreasing temperature until finally, the test substance was completely solid. At the temperature (-27.4 and -31.3°C) a stirrer could not be moved.
Executive summary:

No freezing point /freezing range could be determined. The viscosity of the test substance increased with decreasing temperature untill finally, the test substance was completely solid. In two independent studies the stirrers could not be moved at a temperature of -27.4 and -21.3 °C, without a clear phase transition of liquid into solid.
