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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Melting point / freezing point
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)

- Type of method:
- differential scanning calorimetry
- Key result
- Remarks on result:
- other: no discrete melting point could be determined with the method used or it is below -80 °C
- Conclusions:
- No discrete melting point of the test item could be determined with the method used or it is below - 80 °C.
- Executive summary:
The melting point of the test item was determined by DSC measurement according to OECD 102. The rough optical approximation of the melting range resulted in the following observations: the sample aliquot was viscous at approx. -20 °C and spreadable at approx. -80 °C. Especially due to the sample's nature consisting of several ingredients, it may therefore be supposed that the sample rather offers a melting point but a melting range. This assumption coincides with the observations made within the DSC analysis.
In DSC analysis, the melting point mostly can be calculated from the onset or the peak maximum, whereby impure samples are usually characterised by their peak maximum. However, for the test item no peak could be observed in the DSC graph. Hence, no discrete melting point could be determined with the method used or it is below -80 °C.

Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
