Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Specific details on test material used for the study:
SOURCE OF TEST MATERIAL
- Source and lot/batch number of test material: PFW100207
- Purity: contains 0.03% water
- Physical state: Liquid

STABILITY AND STORAGE CONDITIONS OF TEST MATERIAL
- Storage condition of test material: in cool, well-ventilated area
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
< -20 °C
Atm. press.:
101.325 kPa

The test was performed from ambient down to -20°C. No freezing point was observed within the range of the test (identical results in duplicate test).

Conclusions:
The freezing point of the test substance was reported as < -20°C.

Description of key information

The freezing point of the test substance under ambient conditions was determined to be below -20°C in a GLP study according to test method EC A.1 (Younis S, 2012).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

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

Additional information

The value used for the CSA is -20 °C, although the results of the test show an unbounded value (< -20 °C).
