Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Mean value

<-100 (<173K)

Approximate accuracy of the instrument: ± 0.5 K (up to 600 K)

The DSC diagrams (attached) show no exothermic or endothermic peak in the temperature range between –100°C (173 K) and +25°C (298 K). Therefore, a melting temperature or change in the structure of the substance must be at less than –100°C (< 173 K).

Additionally, the liquid test substance was cooled in a test glass with a mixture of dry ice and isopropanol to –70°C. Thereby no visible change occurred in the physical state of the test substance.

There are no other thermal effect up till maximum temperature of 25°C.

Conclusions:
A melting temperature of <-100°C at 1013 hPa was determined for the substance using OECD 102 and in compliance with a known quality system (ISO 9001:2008). The result is considered to be reliable.

Description of key information

Melting point: <-100°C at 1013 hPa (OECD 102)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-100 °C

Additional information

A melting temperature value of <-100°C (<173±0.5 K) at 1013 hPa was obtained for the submission substance using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) in accordance with OECD Test Guideline 102 and in compliance with a known quality system (ISO 9001:2008). At the temperature range used during the study, -100°C (173 K) to +25°C (298 K), no exothermic or endothermic peaks were observed. The melting point was therefore reported as <-100°C (173 K).
