Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The thermograms of the DSC runs PN18048 and PN18050 are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 (Kindly refer the attached background material secrion of the IUCLID). In the temperature range of 30 - 60°C, an endothermic effect (melting) was observed. Between 140 - 240°C a second endothermic effect could be detected. An exothermic effect is detected in the temperature range of 240 - 290°C. During the heating phase a distinct endothermic effect was observed in the temperature range of 30 - 60°C, which can be assigned to the melting of the test substance. As the onset temperatures in both tests do not deviate by more than 0.5 K from their mean value of 45.21°C, this temperature can be used as melting point. The test substance has a melting point of 45.2°C at atmospheric pressure (1011.2 hPa).

Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, melting point of the test substance was determined to be 45.2˚C at 1011.2 hPa.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the melting point of the test substance, using differential scanning calorimetry method, according to the OECD Guideline 102 and EU Method A.1, in compliance with GLP. Under the study conditions, the melting point of the test substance was determined to be 45.2°C at 1011.2 hPa (Hartmann, 2019).

Description of key information

The melting point of the test substance was determined using the differential scanning calorimetry method, according to OECD Guideline 102 and EU Method A.1 (Hartmann, 2019).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
