Description of key information
Melting point of hexylene glycol is reported to be -50°C (corresponding to 223.15 K).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- 223.15 K
Additional information
Information regarding melting/freezing point of hexylene glycol was sourced from various handbooks or review articles including CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (81st Ed.), Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials (7thEd.), and Patty's Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology (4th Ed.). However, Patty’s Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology cites secondary sources that are not peer-reviewed, and thus, is not considered valid. Instead, melting point of hexylene glycol was sourced from CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics and Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, which used primary and peer-reviewed sources, and is reported to be -50°C (corresponding to 223.15 K).
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.
