Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2004
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Justification for type of information:
The study was conducted according to an internationally recognised method, and under GLP. No deviation was reported. Substance ID is adequately specified with purity. Therefore full validation applies.

The freezing temperature of the test material has been determined to be less than 253± 0.5 K (< - 20 ± 0.5 °C).

Conclusions:
No further testing required (<-20°C).
Executive summary:

The freezing point of the test substance was determined under GLP according to OECD 102/EU A1 guidelines; the test substance being a liquid at room temperature, the method described in Standard BS4633 for the determination of crystallising point was used.

No freezing point was observed down to -20°C.

Description of key information

Freezing point < -20 °C.

No further testing is required.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted under GLP according to a recognized OECD/EU/BS method, is available.

It is considered as a key study. As no crystallisation was observed down to -20°C, the result is expressed as a limit value, and cannot be retained as key data.
