Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Remarks:
Date of inspection 2011-07-19 to 2011-07-21; Date of signature 2011-08-31
Type of method:
method to determine freezing temperature
Melting / freezing pt.:
< 253 K
Remarks on result:
other: The test item became slightly cloudy from 281 K but remained non-viscous throughout the investigation.

- Measured temperatures were converted from degrees Centigrade using the equation T = t + 273.15 (where T = temperature (K) and t = temperature (ºC).

Conclusions:
Freezing temperature of the test material was determined to be less than 253 K (less than minus 20 ºC).

Description of key information

Freezing temperature of the test material was determined to be less than 253 K (less than minus 20 ºC).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The freezing temperature of the test item was determined to be less than -20 °C (<253 K) using BS4633: Method for Determination of Crystallizing Point, designed to be compatible with Method A1 Melting/ Freezing Temperature of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/ 2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 102 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995.
