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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- Conclusions:
- The melting temperature of the substance was 117.9 °C at atmospheric pressure of 102 kPa.
- Executive summary:
The melting temperature of the test substance was determined under GLP in accordance with OECD TG 102, using differential scanning calorimetry. The accuracy of the apparatus was determined with indium and zinc prior to the test measurements. Aliquots of about 5 mg of the test substance were weighed into aluminium crucibles with manually pierced lids, which were placed in the calorimeter. The temperature was increased from 80 °C at 1 °C/minute. Two determinations were conducted in air and two in a nitrogen atmosphere. Essentially identical thermograms were obtained in all four determinations. The extrapolated endotherm onset temperature was interpreted as the melting temperature. The average melting temperature of the four determinations was 117.9 °C at an atmospheric pressure of 102 kPa.
Reference
The thermograms of each determination were recorded. The extrapolated endotherm onset temperature in the thermograms was interpreted as the melting temperature. The following melting temperatures were determined:
- determination 1: 117.83 °C
- determination 2: 118.05 °C
- determination 3: 118.00 °C
- determination 4: 117.79 °C
Description of key information
Melting temperature: 117.9 °C at 102 kPa (GLP, OECD TG 102)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- 117.9 °C
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
