Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Freezing point: -185°C at 1013 hPa

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-185 °C

Additional information

A freezing point of -185°C at 1013 hPa was reported in handbooks or collections of reliable data which have been subject to peer-review and in which the original data sources are traceable. Silane was reported to solidify at approximately -200°C at 1013 hPa. The results from the two sources are considered to be reliable and are used as weight of evidence.

In a secondary source to which reliability could not be assigned, a freezing point value of -184.7°C at 1013 hPa was reported for the substance.
