Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Validity criteria for the measurement of the melting point:




















Target condition according to
guideline:
Actual condition according to
the study:
Validity criteria met:
The mean of at least two measurements which are in the range of the estimated accuracy (up to 600K ± 0.5K up to) is reported as the melting temperature.Mean of at least 2 measurments (-30.3/-30.3 °C) was used which are within estimated accuracy. Yes
If the substance decomposes or sublimes before the melting temperature is reached, the temperature at which the effect is observed shall be reported.No decomposition was reportedYes
Conclusions:
The test substance has a melting point of -30.3 °C.
Executive summary:

In a GLP study according to EEC Method (92/69/EEC A.1), the melting point of the test substance was determined using differential thermal analysis(DTA). The mean melting point is -30.3 °C, derived from four test runs (2 closed crucibles, 2 open crucibles).
