Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
The freezing point of the test item was determined to be -24°C at 101.2 KPa.
Executive summary:

The freezing point of the test item was determined by using a freezing temperature method according to OECD TG 102. The freezing point was determined to be -24°C at 101.2 KPa. The melting point of the test item could not be determined at a temperature range of -170°C to 20°C by Different Scanning Calorimeter (DSC). There was no endothermic peak. The study is reliable with restrictions, being non-GLP compliant, but having followed a standard guideline.

Description of key information

The freezing point of the test item was determined to be -24°C (249 K) at atmospheric pressure. The melting point of the test item could not be determined at a temperature range from -170°C to 20°C by Differential Scanning Calorimetry.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-24 °C

Additional information

The freezing point of the test item was assessed by Differential Scanning Calorimetry conducted according to OECD TG 102 guideline. The study is a guideline, non-GLP, experimental study, acceptable for assessment of this endpoint (2013).
