Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Decomposition:
no

At approximately -30 °C, an endothermic effect was detected which can be attributed to the melting of the test item. The onset temperatures are -32.65 °C and -32.26 °C.

The melting point of the test item is -32.5 °C.


 


As confirmation a small sample of the test item was stored at -25 °C in the freezer. A visual inspection of the test item showed that the test item was a viscous liquid, but still a liquid at this temperature.




Conclusions:
The test item has a melting point of -32.5 °C at atmospheric pressure (ca. 1000 mbar) as determined by differential scanning calorimetry according to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 Method A.1 and OECD Guideline 102.

Description of key information

The test item has a melting point of -32.5 °C at atmospheric pressure (ca. 1000 mbar).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
