Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Remarks on result:
other: A reproducible glass transition was found at -80 °C

No melting temperature was found between -100 °C and 50 °C, even by addition of aluminum oxide powder as crystallization aid (Test 1).

A reproducible glass transition was found at -80 °C in the 1 st heating.

(determination A and B).

Determination

Glass transition temperature [0C]

-80.1

B

-79.6

Mean value

Observed thermic processes

In order to survey the thermic behavior of the test item a preliminary TG/DTA-Test (non-GLP) was run up to 620 °C.

Two endothermic peaks at about 80 °C and 150 °C peak temperature with a weight lass of 68 % at 250 °C show the beginning of the vaporization of the test item

Description of key information

No melting temperature was found between -100 °C and 50 °C, even by addition of aluminum oxide powder as crystallization aid (Test 1).

A reproducible glass transition was found at -80 °C in the 1st heating.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

In a non GLP supporting study (BASF, K 563,1980) with limited documentation the solidification temperature of the subcooled liquid was determined to be 2.91 °C at 1013.25 hPa.

A BASF GLP study (14L00334) determined mo melting temperature between -100 °C and 50 °C. but a reproducible glass transition was found at -80 °C in the 1st heating. The study is regarded to be reliable for the substance and therfore was chosen as key value for the melting point.
