Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
16th of February, 2010
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: A GLP study carried out to the relevant guidelines.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
An aliquot (15 ml) of test material was placed into a test tube containing a thermometer. A wire loop with which the sample could be agitated was placed inside the tube to ensure sample homogeneity during cooling. The test tube was surrounded by a glass jacket and then placed into a large beaker containing a dry ice/acetone mixture. The temperature and observations of the test material were recorded approximately every 30 seconds until the temperature reached a plateau, then every 300 seconds until completely frozen.
The determination was carried out in duplicate.
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
thermal analysis
Melting / freezing pt.:
269 K

No further details provided.

Conclusions:
The freezing point of the test material has been determined to be 269 ± 0.5 K.
Executive summary:

The freezing point of the test material has been determined to be 269 ± 0.5 K.
