Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

According to section 1 REACH Annex XI a study does not need to be conducted, as the substance is marketed as an aqueous solution only and  the melting point is expected to be very similar to the one of water. The data from manufactures proved this expectation and the melting points of SMBT aqueous solutions are slightly lower than 0°C. 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

A melting point of -6°C was reported by Flexsys for a 45 - 50 % aqueous solution; -14°C was reported by Lanxess for a 50 % aqueous solution and -3.3°C for a 30% aqueous solution.
