Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
25-06-2018 to 29-06-2018
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Guideline study performed under GLP. All relevant validity criteria were met.

Remarks:
inspected: July 2017 ; signature: November 2017
Type of method:
capillary method
Melting / freezing pt.:
< 253 K
Atm. press.:
1 atm
Decomposition:
no
Sublimation:
no
Remarks on result:
other: < -20 ± 0.5 °C (freezing temperature); mean (n=2)

Measured temperatures were converted from °C to K using T = t + 273.15

T = temperature (K)

t = temperature (°C)

Definitive test:

Overall result; mean (n=2) : less than -20°C (<253 K) ; the test item showed no change in appearance during cooling. Described as a mobile liquid during cooling.

Conclusions:
The freezing temperature of the test item has been determined to be less than 253 ± 0.5 K or less than -20 ± 0.5 °C. The melting point is less than 253 K or less than -20°C.
Executive summary:

The freezing temperature of the test item was determined using EU Method A.1 and OECD TG 102 capillary method under GLP. In a definitive test performed in duplicate the freezing point was determined less than -20 ± 0.5 °C (or less than 253 ± 0.5 K). Applicant assessment indicates since the test item was observed to flow as a liquid at temperatures > -20 °C; the test item melting point can be considered to be < -20 °C. At temperatures greater than or equal to -20 °C (or 253 K) the test item is a liquid at atmospheric pressure.

Additional information

Key study : EU Method A.1, 2018 : The freezing temperature of the test item was determined using EU Method A.1 and OECD TG 102 capillary method under GLP. In a definitive test performed in duplicate the freezing point was determined less than -20 ± 0.5 °C (or less than 253 ± 0.5 K). Applicant assessment indicates since the test item was observed to flow as a liquid at temperatures > -20 °C; the test item melting point can be considered to be < -20 °C. At temperatures greater than or equal to -20 °C (or 253 K) the test item is a liquid at atmospheric pressure.
