No pressure reported. It is assumed that the experiment was conducted at ambient pressure of ca. 1013 hPa.
No pressure reported. It is assumed that the experiment was conducted at ambient pressure of ca. 1013 hPa.
Description of key information
Melting range: -27 to -21 °C (ASTM D97, pour point)
No pressure reported. It is assumed that the experiment was conducted at ambient pressure of ca. 1013 hPa.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- -21 °C
Additional information
The melting point temperature changes with the composition of the substance.
Experimental data are available for two compositions (named grade one and grade two). The following melting points were determined for them:
Grade one: -27 °C
Grade two: -21 °C
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
