Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

No melting point was found between -150°C and +35°C under these conditions, but it is noted that crystallisation processes are often impaired by supercooling, due to a kinetic delay of the transformation caused by inhibited nucleation.

Neither during cooling nor upon heating any significant thermal effects from glass transition, crystallisation or melting were registered.

Conclusions:
A melting point value of < -100°C at 1013 hPa was determined in a reliable study conducted according to an appropriate test protocol, and in compliance with GLP.

Description of key information

< -100°C at 1013 hPa (measured)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

A melting point value of < -100°C (1013 hPa) was determined by differential scanning calorimetry according to EU Test Method A.1.
