Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Remarks:

The detection of the melting point is released automatically by the measurement system. In test 1 an additional manual measurement was performed. The difference to the automatic detection is not evident. Therefore the manual detection was not repeated in test 2 and there are no values in the table for the manual measurement.

 

Conclusions:
A melting point value of 25.7 °C at 1013 hPa was determined in a reliable study conducted according to an appropriate test protocol. It was not compliant with GLP.

Description of key information

Chlorodimethyloctadecylsilane: 25.7 °C at 1013 hPa (EU Method A.1)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
