Description of key information
The melting point of Macrolex Rot 5B is 276.4°C
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- 276.4 °C
Additional information
In a supporting study with dried material a melting point of about 260°C was reported and that the substance decomposes at temperatures >360°C.
