Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

RESULTS

Preliminary test conducted by using 10 ml of sample in glass vial which was reduced in temperature to -25.5°C overnight. Sample was free flowing at -25.5°C and no crystallisation observed. Full testing is therefore not required.

Conclusions:
The freezing point of test item was determined to be < -20°C.
Executive summary:

The study was performed in order to determine the freezing temperature of the test item according to EU A.1 and OECD 102, using the freezing point method.

A pre-test was conducted, showing that the substance was was free flowing at -25.5°C and no crystallisation was observed.

Description of key information

The freezing point of test item was determined to be < -20°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

A reliable GLP experimental study, conducted according to a recognized OECD/EC guidelines is available.

It is considered as a key study and the result is retained as key data.
