Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Type of method:
differential scanning calorimetry
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Clear, colourless liquid
Purity: 97.2%
Remarks on result:
not determinable
Remarks:
No melting point was determined. A glass transition of the test item was observed at -78.8°C (194.4K).

Reaction and/or decomposition of the test item was observed during the two DSC experiments at temperatures of > 175°C (> 448K). After the experiments, a brown residue remained in the sample container (original colour: colourless). The change of the colour indicated reaction and/or decomposition of the test item. The glass transition temperature was determined as the mean inflection point temperature of Experiment 1 (-78.643°C) and Experiment 2 (-78.859°C).

Conclusions:
No melting point was determined. A glass transition of the test item was observed at -78.8°C (194.4K).
Executive summary:

No melting point was determined. A glass transition of the test item was observed at -78.8°C (194.4K).

Description of key information
