Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

< -100



2



< -100



Mean value



< -100 (< 173K)



Approximate accuracy of equipment: ± 0.5 K (up to 600K)


 


The DSC diagrams show no exothermic or endothermic peak in the temperature range between –100°C (173 K) and +25°C (298 K).


 


Therefore a melting temperature or change in the structure of the substance must be at less than –100°C (< 173 K). The thermogram is attached.

Conclusions:
A melting point of < -100°C at 1013 hPa has been determined for the test substance using a relevant method, but not in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable.

Description of key information

Melting point: < -100°C at 1013 hPa (OECD 102)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-100 °C

Additional information

A measured melting point value of < -100°C at 1013 hPa was determined for the substance using a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) method in accordance with OECD Test Guideline 102 and in compliance with a known quality system (ISO 9001:2008). The result is considered to be reliable.
