Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

*Time [min]/ the moment of using crystallization seeds in a liquid sample

During the preliminary test the temperature of samples decreased initially at constat rate. After 46th minute, the temperature significally growth and exceed 2ºC ( supercooling procceded). Because of supercooling, the following measurement 1,2,3 have been done using a small amount of crystalization seed in a liquid sample to avoid an excess supercooling.

Conclusions:
The average value of an initial freezing point of test item is equal to 16.0 ± 0.1°C.
Executive summary:

In accordance with OECD guideline for Research Chemicals (Method 102) and GLP study the determination of freezing point was carried out. The test item was tested in a liquid form (as supplied) using method of crystallization tube in freezing mixture ice/acetone. The tube was coated with an outed tube and whole set was placed in a Dewar vessel with freezing mixture.The freezing temperature was determined during the four measurement (preliminary test and main tests). As in the preliminary test temperature growth exceeded 2°C (supercooling process), main tests were carried out with a small amount of crystallization seeds in a liquid sample in order to avoid an excess supercooling. The freezing temperature was read with accuracy of 0.1 ºC. The average value of an initial freezing point of test item is equal to 16.0 ± 0.1°C.
