Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-132 °C

Additional information

A weight of evidence approach was used to assess the freezing temperature of the test item. In 3 recognised secondary sources (coming from Knovel database and Physprop database), the freezing temperature is indicated to be -132°C. In two publised data, this parameter is specified to be -130°C. The gap observed between these two values can be explained by the uncertainty of the temperature measurements.

The value used as the key value for chemical safety assessment is the value obtained from the recognised secondary sources.
