Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

DSC trace attached.

The cooling run showed no crystallization. A melting below -80 °C is possible but outside the measuring area of the test system.

Conclusions:
The melting point of the substance is < -80 °C.
Executive summary:

The melting point of the test item was determined using Differential Scanning Calorimetry according to OECD TG 102. The test item was cycled between -90°C and 50°C with a heating/cooling rate of 10 K/min in 2 cycles. A capsulated crucible was used. The test item showed no melting of crystalline subcomponents between -80 °C and 50 °C. The cooling run showed a crystallization.

Description of key information

The melting point is < -80 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-80 °C
