Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-3 °C

Additional information

Pour point determined according to OECD 102. Older lower quality data support the fact that the melting temperature is low (< -23.3 °C). Handhook data (+ 38 °C ) is disregarded because of inconsistency.
