Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The pour point of DIDS has been determined to be -55 °C, in a reliable study performed according to ASTM D97 standard method (INEOS Enterprises, 2013c).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-55 °C

Additional information

Using ASTM D97 standard method, the maximum pour point of DIDS was determined to be -55 °C (INEOS Enterprises, 2013c).

Relevant read-across data:

In a study using the same method, a pour point of -63 °C was determined for the structurally-related compound, DIDA (INEOS Enterprises, 2009b). Another guideline study on DIDA, performed to GLP, used a differential scanning calorimetry method to calculate a melting point of less than -20 °C at an air pressure of 1018 hPa (Baltussen, 2010).

A variety of sources report melting points of less than about -50 °C for DEHS and DOS (ACC, 2010; INEOS Enterprises, 2009b, c; JETOC, 1992; Sax, 2004).

DIDA, DEHS and DOS are, like DIDS, all liquids at standard room temperature and pressure, supporting the use of these compounds for read-across purposes.
