Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Executive summary:

The HSDB database provides, as secondary source, physico-chemical data on the substance.

The melting point, cited from CRC handbook, is -165.2°C.

Description of key information

(from handbooks)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-165.2 °C

Additional information

Three literature sources provide consistent values, between -165.2 and -165°C. The average result of the two references considered as reliable (CRC and HSDB give respectively -165.12 and -165.2°C) is retained as key data.
