Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
Version / remarks:
Cited as Directive 92/69/EEC, A.1
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Method 102 of the OECD guideline for testing of chemicals
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:

Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
< -20 °C

The test material became increasingly viscous during cooling. The freezing temperature is below 253 K.

Conclusions:
The freezing temperature of the test material has been determined to be less than 253 +/- 0.5 K.

Description of key information

Freezing point: < -20°C (EU method A1 determination of crystallizing point)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

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

Additional information

The freezing temperature of a solution of 70% ammonium thioglycolate in water has been determined to be less than 253± 0.5 K by using EU method A1 corresponding to OECD TG 102.
