Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

2 assays were performed :
Assay No. 1:
No freezing point was observed down to -50°C (223.15 K). The test item was a fluid and clear liquid at the start of the
test, it was whitish and viscous when the test was stopped after 24 minutes and 20 seconds. 

Assay No. 2:
No freezing point was observed down to -50°C (223.15 K). The test item was a fluid and clear liquid at the start of the
test, it was whitish and viscous when the test was stopped after 23 minutes and 20 seconds.

The graphs of the resutls are in attached file.

Conclusions:
No freezing point was observed down to -50°C (223.15 K), the lower limit of the experimental conditions.

Description of key information

The freezing point of isooctyl mercaptoacetate was measured to be below -50°C (Mourgues 2003). 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
