Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
Experimental phase: November 2017
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Remarks:
The study was conducted according to an internationally recognised method. No deviation affected the quality of the study. The substance is considered to be adequately characterised. Therefore full validation applies.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Version / remarks:
July, 27, 1995
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
Version / remarks:
Regulation (EC) n°440/2008
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Remarks:
not required for physchem data, unless relating to CLP
Type of method:
differential scanning calorimetry
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
-62.1 °C
Atm. press.:
99 kPa

Assay 1: -62.0 °C (99.0 kPa)

Assay 2: -62.2 °C (99.0 kPa)

Mean (+/- Standard deviation): -62.1 +/- 0.2 °C

Executive summary:

The test substance was first cooled down to -80°C, then the melting point was determined according to OECD102/EU A.1 guideline, using Differential Scanning Calorimetry method.

Two main runs were performed, under nitrogen flow; onset results were found consistent, so the mean final temperature was retained.

The melting temperature of test substance has been determined to be -62.1 °C.

Description of key information

Experimental melting point (i.e. transition from solid to liquid) under N2 = -62.1°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-62.1 °C

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized OECD/EC method, is available. Therefore it is considered as a key study, and the result is retained as key data.
