Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

153 to 165 °C at 1013 hPa (DSC, EU Method A.1.)

The result is given as a range based on the results obtained from two types of Isomalt (ST and GS).

Key value for chemical safety assessment
