Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Freezing point: -7.9ºC
The study and the conclusions which are drawn from it fulfil the quality criteria (validity, reliability, repeatability).
Executive summary:

The test substance was placed in a test tube and then stirred continuously while placed in a -30°C dry ice/ethanol bath. The temperature was recorded continuously throughout the cooling. Plotted the temperature vs. time. The freezing point was determined graphically.

Freezing point is -7.9°C (average of two replicates (-8.2°C and -7.5°C)).
