Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
< -37 °C
Atm. press.:
1 013.25 hPa
Decomposition:
no
Sublimation:
no
Conclusions:
The test item had a freezing point of < -37 °C under atmospheric conditions.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to OECD TG 102. The freezing point was determined by cooling the test item using appropriate sample tube. The temperature during crystallization was observed. The stirrer was inserted into the crystallisation tube filled with the test item. The thermometer was secured vertically in the liquid with its end appr. 18 mm above the bottom of the tube. The outer tube was fitted. Afterwards the whole was placed in position in a cooler enabling cooling to -40°C. The freezing point of the test item was determined to be below - 37 °C.

Description of key information
