Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Pre-test: the test item was filled into glass vessels and stored at –80 and –20 °C.

Conclusions:
The melting point of the test item is < -20°C. Therefore, no further testing is required according to Annex VII of REACH.
Executive summary:

No melting point or range could be detected. The melting point or range of the test item is < -80 °C (< 193.15 K). No further testing is required according to Annex VII of REACH as the melting point is < -20°C.

Description of key information

The melting point of reaction mass of 2,2'-oxybisbutane (DSBE), DIPE, SBA and 2-methylpropan-2-ol (TBA) is < -80 °C. As the melting point does not need to be determined below a lower limit of -20 °C (Annex VII of REACH), no main study was performed to determine the exact value.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-80 °C

Additional information

The melting point of reaction mass of 2,2'-oxybisbutane (DSBE), DIPE, SBA and 2-methylpropan-2-ol (TBA) was assessed according to OECD 102 resp. EU A.1 under GLP. In the study pre-test, the test item cooled to -80 °C was still liquid after six days of storage at this temperature. As the melting point does not need to be determined below a lower limit of -20 ° C (Annex VII of REACH), no main study was performed to determine the exact value.
