Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 result
Melting / freezing pt.:
>= -17 - <= -4.7 °C
Remarks on result:
other: Sample becomes very viscous at lower temperatures and forms a waxy substance at the final freezing point.

Full test results:

Run number 
 Mass of sample used (g)  12.2 12.2 
 Initial Freezing temperature (°C)  -5.0 -4.7 
 Final Freezing temperature (°C)  -17.0  -17.0

Result: -17.0 to -4.7°C

The mean of at least two measurements, which are in the range of the estimated accuracy, is reported as the freezing temperature/range.

Sample becomes very viscous at lower temperatures and forms a waxy substance at the final freezing point.

Conclusions:
Result : -17.0 to -4.7°C.
Sample becomes very viscous at lower temperatures and forms a waxy substance at the final freezing point.

Description of key information

The freezing range is -17 to -4.7 ˚C (< 0°C).


Sample becomes very viscous at lower temperatures and forms a waxy substance at the final freezing point.  

Key value for chemical safety assessment
