Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)

Specific details on test material used for the study:
SOURCE OF TEST MATERIAL
- Source and lot/batch No.of test material: 41-2601-2240-7
- Expiration date of the lot/batch: 23 Mar 2006
- Purity: 99.959%
- Synonyms: MTDID 665

Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
-61 °C

Test was done at ambient atmospheric pressure (value not stated). Stable temperatures were observed around the freezing point. A clear phase transition was observed at temperatures of (-56.9) °C (test 1), (-61.2) °C (test 2), and (-61.0) °C (test 3). The average of two repeatable temperatures was reported as the freezing point.

Table, Measured temperatures around the freezing process.

 Temp during test 1 (°C)  Temp during test 2 (°C)  Temp during test 3 (°C)
 (-54.5)  (-61.0)  (-60.0)
 (-54.9)  (-60.9)  (-60.3)
 (-55.3)  (-61.1)  (-60.4)
 (-55.6)  (-61.0)  (-60.6)
 (-56.1)  (-61.2)  (-60.8)
   (-61.2)  (-60.9)
Conclusions:
The freezing point of HFE s-601 is (-61.0) °C (OECD 102)
Executive summary:

The freezing point range of HFE s-601 was determined by placing the test material in an acetone/dry ice bath with temperature probe readings. The study was conducted in accordance with the OECD 102 method and was GLP compliant; therefore the study is considered reliable without restrictions.

Description of key information
