Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
from 29/06/2018 to 20/07/2018
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
Version / remarks:
(EC) 440/2008
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
method to determine freezing temperature
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
< -20 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 1 013 hPa
Remarks on result:
other: the temperature range of the equipment is -20 to 150°C

During evaluation run the sample was held at -26°C for approximately 24 hours. An off-white paste was observed.

Conclusions:
The freezing point of the test item is determined to be < -20°C at atmospheric pressure.
Executive summary:

The freezing point of the test item was determined according to the EU Method A.1 and OECD 102, and in compliance with the GLP.

The sample is stirred gently and continuously during cooling and the temperature is measured at suitable intervals (e.g. 0.5 min.). As soon as the temperature remains constant for a few readings or crystals are observed in the sample, the temperature is recorded at the freezing point. During evaluation run the sample was held at -26°C for approximately 24 hours and an off-white paste was observed.

The freezing point of the test item was determined  to be < -20°C at atmospheric pressure.

The freezing point study is classified as acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirements of the EU method A.1 and OECD 102.

Description of key information

The freezing point of the test item is determined  to be < -20°C at atmospheric pressure.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-20 °C
