Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
Freezing temperature (glass transition temperature of a liquid sample): -23 °C
Executive summary:

The study was performed to determine the freezing temperature of the substance according to the EU Method A.1 and in compliance with GLP. Using the differential scanning calorimetry method, the mean glass transition temperature, which is used as the melting temperature of the test substance was determined to be - 23 °C from the two determinations performed.
